Thank you for initiating the discussion on a frequently invisible disability — mental illness. The “Dealing with Mental Health Issues” package in the Jan. 8 issue of The Alabama Baptist beautifully stressed the urgency of education to effectively address conditions suffered quietly by a quarter of Americans.
Praise God Scripture did not minimize the highs and lows of David’s life. Yet despite David’s bipolar behaviors he was a man after God’s own heart. Glory.
The combination of medication, psychotherapy and the unconditional love ever present in my former and present church has calmed the ravages of the illness for me. The open forum suggested could offer a quicker route to help and hope for others. What a great opportunity for outreach.
