The Gospel & Mental Illness Pt. 3
THE GOSPEL & MENTAL ILLNESS PT. 3
1 in 5 adults in the U.S. live with a mental illness according to The National Institute Of Mental Health (NIMH). But what exactly does it mean to be diagnosed with a "mental illness?” What does treatment for a mental illness aim to bring about? What is defined as “relief?”
In part 3 of this series you will find a shocking admission from Dr. Allen Frances, the chairman of the The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV). This is essentially the Psychiatrist/Psychologists primary tool for diagnosing mental illness.
