What You Should Know About Mental Disorders - Spiritual Health Is Vital

The Bible does not indicate that spirituality cures medical problems. Still, many families around the world have derived much comfort and strength from what the Bible teaches.  For instance, the Bible assures us that our loving Creator is keenly interested in consoling those who are "brokenhearted" and "crushed" in spirit." - PSALM 34:18.

While the Bible is not a health-care book, it provides practical guidance that can help us to cope with painful emotions and distressing circumstances. The Bible can also give us hope for a future when life on earth will be free of illness and pain.  God's Word promises:  "At that time the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. At that time the lame will leap like the deer, and the tongue of the speechless will shout for joy." -  ISAIAH 35:5, 6.
