ANO ANG KALUSUGANG

PANGKAISIPAN?
Kabilang sa kalusugan ng kaisipan ang paghahanap ng
panimbang sa lahat ng panig ng inyong buhay —
pangkatawan, pangkaisipan, pandamdamin, at pang-
espirituwal. Ito ang kakayahang masiyahan sa buhay at
harapin ang mga hamon na inyong hinaharap arawaraw —
kabilang man dito ang pagpili o ang paggawa ng desisyon,
pag-angkop at pagkaya sa mabibigat na suliranin, o ang
pagpapahayag ng mga pangangailangan at mga
pagnanais.

▧ 1. “Anxiety is a sin.”
“[I’ve been told] my anxiety is sinful or an act of conscious disobedience that I can just ‘turn off.’
Thankfully, I know my Jesus understands.” — Julia C.

“‘Worrying is sin.’ You think I’m choosing to be afraid? I’m not purposefully sinning. It’s mental
illness… I recognize I’m supposed to cast my anxieties on Him, but sometimes it’s just not that easy.”
— Deserae M.

▧ 2. “God doesn’t give you more than you can handle.”

“‘The Bible says that God doesn’t give you more than you can handle. So you should be able to handle
this. You’re probably just not praying hard enough, or you’ve let other things come between you and
God. Or, you don’t trust God enough. Once you put those things aside you’ll be fine. Medication just
shows you don’t trust God enough.’ God also made doctors and people who created medications to
help cancer patients, infections, viruses and mental illness. You don’t tell someone with a broken leg
to just trust and walk it off, you take them to a doctor. So why should my ailment be any different?” —
Rebecca H.

▧ “Give it to God.”
“‘Give your worries to God.’ I sure try. But they just keep coming. I
recently asked my doctor for something to fight the anxiety [and it] is
working wonderfully.” — Trisha S.

▧ “Have you prayed about it?”

“‘You should pray about it.’ I do all the time, [and it] doesn’t change a
thing… People seem to automatically think because I have mental
health, I am turning away from God in some way.” — Stephanie R.

hospitality and caring, counseling, and

 Practical Actions that can be taken

▧ Talk about the issue using language that is appropriate for the church and
cultural setting. There is tremendous stigma-breaking power in a pastor
addressing mental health and trauma from the pulpit.
▧ Encourage the congregation to offer practical help and hospitality to those who
are suffering and their families, as a church body would for any illness or crisis.
▧ Help connect those in need with trustworthy community resources. Have referral
resource information available and make sure the congregation is aware of it.
▧ Reach out and extend Christ’s love through friendship. Those who struggle
often feel excluded and isolated and may need extra outreach to know that they
are welcome as part of the fellowship.
