Ep. 03 Mental Illness, Taking Charge of Our Wellbeing, and God’s Perfecting Love
Description
In today’s episode, co-hosts Steph and Laura define the differences between mental health and mental illness, and if it’s a person’s fault if they’re depressed or anxious. They use the comparison of common physical issues (like a stomach ache) to help illustrate what experiencing mental illness may look like or begin as.
Includes: How mental illnesses are diagnosed, how we can take ownership of our mental health by taking our thoughts captive and scriptures including Ephesians 4:21-24, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 and Philippians 4:8.
We mentioned Dr. Caroline Leaf in this episode. You can find her and her work on the mind-brain connection at www.drleaf.com.
