Is taking drugs for mental health reasons a lack of faith? Not in my opinion!
The month of May is Mental Health Awareness month. I don’t normally talk exclusively about mental illness on this podcast, but I am taking the entire month of May to specifically address this topic.
Not only are people suffering and dying, but unnecessary division is being caused in our church communities against those that are struggling.
There is much harm being caused from stigma, a lack of knowledge, a judgmental, pious spirit, and passed down beliefs that have no scientific backing.
There is also a lack of knowledge amongst those suffering. When we don’t know the power and promises of the word of God, we become victims to our minds and thoughts, remaining powerless over them.
I don’t claim that the word of God will erase mental illness, but I have proved in my own battle with bipolar and suicidal depression that including scripture in the battle for the mind is of paramount importance, and for me, was lifesaving.
This month as we discuss mental illness, I will address stigma, counseling, medication, suicide, and so much more.
Do you have something you want me to address? Let me know. I am open to your feedback or questions! Email me at jennifer@jenniferskaw.com
I am not a mental health professional, but I am a suicide attempt survivor and speak from first-hand experience of living with a mental illness called Bipolar Type II. If you are having an emergency, please call 988 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.
