Mental Health In The Church & Community

By Dr. Sharon L. Burton and Louella Meachem

Book Overview

Mental Health In The Church & Community offers an understanding of mental health conditions, including facing mental health struggles, and how the Church and community can help. Readers will gain a better understanding of the following questions. What qualifies a condition to be termed as mental illness? What general terms describe mental illness? What are the names of the diverse types of mental illness? What is the cause of mental health disorders? What terms are now offensive to describe mental illness? Humans have grappled with the sphere of mental health considerably longer than many people may recognize. Mental illness, a condition, is a topic wrapped in family shame. In some communities remains a topic of taboo, a subject that continues to produce a wave of anxiety and a void in the right words to apply a given situation. Humans cannot entirely realize and appreciate the core of their existence until they learn to exist with others, no matter their conditions. Overall, this text walks through conditions, people with conditions dating back to biblical days, and how to help those with mental health conditions. In addition to improving self-knowledge, this text applies to help educate others and as a text for mental health programs. Read this book, and share copies with friends and associates.
