Mind On Edge

Clinging To Faith When Mental Health Fades

Have you struggled with depression, anxiety, stress, discouragement, or other mental health issues? You are not alone. Statistics reveal that one in five people experience a diagnosable mental health disorder each year. Research also uncovers that nearly 50% of people will experience a mental health disorder in their lifetime. This means that if you are not struggling, someone near you is. The world has begun the conversation about mental health, and those who follow Jesus can no longer stay silent. Those struggling mentally often struggle alone. That's not okay. This book is not a “You can do this” message. These words are a “God can do this” message. It's not necessarily about Him taking away the struggle, but embracing God’s sustaining power, which can develop mentally healthy attitudes in you. In this book, you will discover that the Bible is full of examples of individuals who were fighting against what was happening in their minds. So how can a person of faith confront a mind on edge? We will examine the Five Attitudes To Being Mentally Healthy and give practical action steps to manage your mental health from a faith perspective. Here are the chapter titles found in the book.
