Mental health is a tender thing. An episode or a chronic mental health illness can be distressing for the person, their family, and congregations.

The soul cries, as the Psalmist did, Psalm 88:1–2
[1] O LORD, God of my salvation,
I cry out day and night before you.
[2] Let my prayer come before you;
incline your ear to my cry! (ESV)
