Mental Illness is part of the human condition just like any other illness. All illnesses, among other things, were brought on by original sin in the Garden of Eden. In my personal experience, God meets us in our weaknesses. When we are weak, He is strong. To me, that sums it all up.

In the days of Jesus, the mentally ill were thought to be afflicted with evil spirits and that thought was carried through until today. But science has shown us that a mental illness can no longer be called an "evil spirit." Granted, I believe in demon possession, but that's a "whole nuther story."

God has given us science and those who study it as a resource to be used by us. Much progress has been made in the area of Mental Illness. It's up to us to avail ourselves of such a wonderful gift. If is hadn't been for science, medicine AND my faith in God, I wouldn't be here to tell you about it.

Faith is a wonderful thing! And just imagine! Jesus said that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains! I've moved a few in my day and didn't realize I was doing it until suddenly one day, the mountain wasn't there anymore or it was the size of a molehill.
