Book Synopsis Mental Health & The Gospel Community by : Ng Zhi-Wen
Download or read book Mental Health & The Gospel Community written by Ng Zhi-Wen and published by Graceworks. This book was released on 2019-09-13 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental illness is often misunderstood; Christians with mental illness even more so. Various myths and erroneous mindsets often hinder the Gospel Community from being effective in supporting those with mental illness. This book speaks to and sheds light on mental illness in three ways. Following a theological overview from Leow Wen Pin, it first presents stories from Christians who have mental illness. Their honest accounts provide a glimpse into the realities of their suffering, the words that have helped them (and the ones that haven’t), and the glimmer of hope that they find in Christ. Second, it offers testimonies from those who are caregivers of loved ones with mental illness. Their words give insight into the realities of their journey, the real questions they have for God, and, mostly, the heart that they have for those they are caring for. Third, it provides perspectives from pastors who have either struggled with mental illness or who are actively providing life-giving communities in their churches for those who do. Their practical and loving advice offers stepping stones that can guide the Gospel community into becoming a safe place for those with mental illness. This nuanced book is a necessary read for anyone who wants to catch God’s heart for the mentally ill.
Book Synopsis Can Christianity Cure Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder? by : Ian Osborn
Download or read book Can Christianity Cure Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder? written by Ian Osborn and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a relentless condition, the primary symptom being the occurrence of terrifying ideas, images, and urges that jump into a person's mind and return again and again, despite the individual's attempt to remove them. Christians who suffer from OCD may grapple with additional guilt, as the undesired thoughts are frequently of a spiritual nature. Yet people may be surprised to learn that some of the greatest leaders in Christian history also struggled with this malady. What did they experience? How did they cope? Were they able to overcome these tormenting, often violent, obsessions? Where did God fit into the picture? Ian Osborn shares the personal accounts of Martin Luther, John Bunyan, and Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, as well as his own story, in exploring how faith and science work together to address this complex issue.

Book Synopsis God Wants Me Here, for Now by : Kaydee Ledger
Download or read book God Wants Me Here, for Now written by Kaydee Ledger and published by Xlibris Us. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOD WANTS ME HERE -- FOR NOW -- God's Protection through Psychiatric Medication Adverse Reactions is an account of the psychiatric medication mismanagement I have endured and that difficult journey. Though a college educated, confident and involved, married mother of three, I learned the hard way to give grave respect to psychiatric medications. My travails have taught me to do my own research when accepting prescribed medications and not to trust the advice of doctors regarding the safety of the choice, the quantity prescribed, or the method to stop. I was totally unprepared for the level of suffering from antidepressant mismanagement (which was especially complicated by Gabapentin), the disbelief of doctors, or the judgment by family and friends. I had no idea that doctor training was so inadequate regarding those drugs or of the thousands of people, like me, who report their symptoms and are daily diagnosed as somatically preoccupied or with a conversion disorder. The pain caused by inappropriately prescribed drugs affected my jobs, my children, my finances, my public perception, and my involvement in life. (I have lost precious years of life because of psychiatric drugs.) My experience has awakened me to a desperate need in the medical community. I now advocate for informed consent of consumers, better training for doctors, insurance coverage for tapering, smaller manufactured drug quantities, penalties for doctors who cold turkey or fast taper a dangerous drug, and less flippant prescribing of those drugs.

Book Synopsis The Christian's Handbook of Psychiatry by : O. Quentin Hyder
Download or read book The Christian's Handbook of Psychiatry written by O. Quentin Hyder and published by Fleming H. Revell Company. This book was released on 1971 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for committed Christians. It is intended to help those people who would call themselves "born-again" Christian believers and who, partly because of their personal spiritual experiences, have difficulty understanding or accepting the facts of mental illness or emotional disorders. Many have believed that somehow their newfound relationship with God should necessarily protect them from emotional illness, which is regarded as sin or a punishment for sin. Many have also believed that prayer, repentance, and Bible study, without human help, can cure all such problems. Very often they can, but not always. Sometimes God uses human means to aid His healing process. - Preface.
Book Synopsis Pills for the Soul? by : Dieter K. MUlitze
Download or read book Pills for the Soul? written by Dieter K. MUlitze and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are pills and medication really God's best for dealing with our emotional state? Should we simply accept the world's wisdom that our emotions are controlled by chemicals in our brain and body - that pills are the best way for treatment? Do anti-depressants reach the root of emotional crisis? This well balanced book intelligently tackles these complex questions. It challenges the widely accepted practices of modern psychiatry in dealing with issues such as depression, mood swings and bi-polar disorders - conditions that are alarmingly on the increase in our modern day, stress filled society. In an age where reliance on medication has reached epic proportions, Pills for the Soul? demonstrates with powerful personal testimonies, scientific reasoning and theological argument that there is another way. The author effectively debunks much of the so called science that seeks to explain away our emotions and soul and instead points us back to the biblical understanding of our spirit, soul and body. This is a compelling book that does not condemn those who use psychiatric medicine, but sensitively guides those in deep need to the abundant way to freedom in emotional healing, which is through Jesus Christ.

Book Synopsis Psychiatric Medication and Spirituality by : Lynne Vanderpot
Download or read book Psychiatric Medication and Spirituality written by Lynne Vanderpot and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging an exclusively medical approach to mental health and illness, this book considers the impact psychiatric drugs can have on spirituality. In the last thirty years, a dramatic rise in medication as a treatment for mental illness has occurred in tandem with increasing numbers of people entering treatment with a spiritually-oriented understanding of their suffering. The unforeseen result is that some people taking psychiatric drugs are engaging with them in ways that can have a profound impact on the course and outcome of treatment. Based on interviews with people on psychiatric medication who regard spirituality as significant in their lives, this book reveals how medication can be perceived as both helpful and harmful to spirituality. The author argues that spirituality must be considered in debates around psychopharmacology.
