Overcoming
Mental Illnesses

The topic of mental illness is often avoided because it is largely a misunderstood issue. It is not uncommon for a stigma to follow mental illness causing significant distress, frustration, and maybe even shame to those who struggle with it. But, we want to bring hope to you today because today represents the beginning of freedom from something that is afflicting countless people across the United States and the World.

According to national statistics for the United States, one in five adults experiences some form of mental illness. In addition, 17% of youth from 6-17 years old experience a mental health disorder. Hardly any person has not been affected by the influence of mental illness, either in their own life, or in the lives of loved ones and acquaintances.

The medical community can offer medications that might bring some kind of management for the issue. There are also therapies, alternative treatments, and self-help courses available. Yet you may find that the issues at hand are only partly managed, or you are left experiencing the adverse side effects of medications and treatments that could not cure the problem.

You may have tried many of them only to find yourself back at square one. Besides that, you may feel pressured and driven to try to figure out your problem and fix yourself so that you can be ‘normal’ again.

What Does the Bible Say About Mental Illness?

Our society has created terms for mental illness that we are familiar with. These terms can include depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, bi-polar, dissociative identity disorder, anxiety disorder, and a host of others. Many of these include various spectrums and levels as well.

Did you know that there are terms in the Bible for what we now call mental illness? There are terms like heavy laden, downtrodden, and perplexed, to name a few. We want to take you on a journey to discover true lasting solutions so your mind and spirit can be completely restored, leaving the stigmas behind.

The Word of God says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Mathew 11:28 KJV

What Causes Mental Illness?

Did you know there are reasons a person has mental illness? Mental illness doesn’t just happen to a person. There may be two people who experience similar situations, and one ends up with a mental illness, but the other comes through it just fine. We want to help you to understand the cause of mental illness and to come alongside you in your journey to freedom. We have over thirty years of experience in medical research, study of the Bible, and ministering to individuals who struggled with many forms of mental illness. Nothing is too big for God!

 Because of medical and psychological research, we understand that many mental illnesses are a result of a chemical imbalance in our brains and bodies. The medical community would try to manage this by altering your body chemistry through medications and various treatments. But at Be in Health, we have searched to know what is causing the imbalance to begin with.

 We have found some answers and have seen them proven in people’s lives. We have come to understand that the way a person thinks – how they view the world around them, how they process information, events, and circumstances all can have a role in the development of many forms of mental illness. As a result of specific patterns of thought, their body responds by overproducing or under producing particular hormones in their body that cause an imbalance and, therefore, loss of homeostasis – the body’s state of equilibrium or peace. But could there be more? Could there be something else that is influencing their thoughts in the first place?
