The Role of Medication
For some, medication is a necessary component of mental
health care. Recognizing that mental health conditions can
have biological underpinnings, seeking medical treatment
is an important step toward healing. 1 Timothy 5:23 (NIV)
acknowledges the use of medical remedies: "Stop drinking
only water and use a little wine because of your stomach
and your frequent illnesses."
Dr. Herbert Benson highlights the role of medical
treatment: "Integrating medical treatment with spiritual
and emotional support provides a comprehensive approach
to mental health care."
Integrating Faith with Professional Help
Integrating faith with professional mental health support
provides a comprehensive approach to care. Philippians
4:6-7 (NIV) encourages prayer and reliance on God’s peace:
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends
all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus."
Dr. Diane Langberg emphasizes the synergy between faith
and therapy: "Combining spiritual practices with
therapeutic techniques can provide a powerful framework
for healing and resilience."
