How Much Do You Understand About Mental Illness? Did you realize that mental illness comes in many sizes, shapes, and names? Drinking alcohol, taking drugs, not sleeping properly, and not eating healthy all add to mental illness symptoms, regardless of illness.

It is fair to say that each of us has our form of mental illness or hang-ups, some people’s mental illness prevents them from functioning as healthy people, and others cope with things better. A person must be a little mentally ill to live in this world with all its craziness and sin. God can heal all our wounds, both physically and emotionally. ~ Bill Greguska

Psalm 6:2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.

Mental Illness And Sin Is The Root Of Many Problems?Mental illness is something that can be treated and lived with. NeedENcouragement.com

The treatment covers the symptoms but does not get to the root of the problem that is all somehow rooted in sin, maybe not their sin, but evil nonetheless. Often with the dealing of sin, the mental illness reduces to a manageable situation. There is help for disorders, but the outcomes are usually less than favorable without God and prayer.

You may know who is in our society with a mental illness; many famous people have been affected by mental illness. Medication can help, but getting to the root of the problem is critical! But getting to the root does not always happen, unfortunately! Real recovery is impossible without God’s healing grace and personal cooperation of the afflicted person and personal cooperation of the afflicted person. It is impossible, just covered up with a temporary bandage. ~ Bill Greguska

Medications, therapy, patience, understanding, and love. The only difference is that their illness often makes life harder to deal with. But with God, all things are possible, and most people with emotional issues can lead useful lives with help from God, others, and medication. It is known that drugs will bring out emotional illness symptoms or magnify any current issues. The problem is that drugs and alcohol make things more magnified negatively. Also, when a person diagnosed then uses alcohol or drugs while on their medication, this also amplifies any issues that they are dealing with in the first place.
