There's been a lot of unnecessary pain, destruction and loss. The lack of being able to comprehend the behaviors, made it impossible to understand, much less explain.
Over a decade of hell..........

Finally, diagnosis and medication, has led to a more peaceful existence for all. Over time, some relationships have started to mend.
While Exploring the history of mental health, it was not so long ago all mental health matters were balled up into one diagnosis, and 'crazy' was the side term. "Hospitals" were build to house the 'insane' and what doctors did to people behind closed doors, was un humane and appalling!
So to talk about 'emotions' or 'thoughts' or 'feelings', could be condemning oneself to being committed to torture in the name of science. Over time, we've figured out that not all mental illness leads to crazy. We've learned a lot about medications, causes and coping mechanisms. Therapies and counselling can help many people with lesser illnesses.
We live in a world that has separated itself from God.
We used to be
MIND BODY AND SOUL.
We used to have a spiritual sense holding our core together, by being connected to our creator.
I've spent a lifetime struggling with depression and undiagnosed 'anxiety disorder'. I've spent a lifetime striving to find God's approval.
Personally, I've found much peace of mind, in my Bible studies and prayer. I believe in the power of the Spirit healing....
Would we be healthier mentally, if we were more connected to God?
A subject for thought......
Blessed by God
Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn,
