My adult daughter is bipolar. She can’t seem to discipline herself to take the meds, get good socialization, exercise and network with other Christians. Our family has become exhausted in our attempts to support her. She is at risk of becoming homeless if things don’t improve. Help us Jesus.

I’m in a mental health nursing class right now and I wanted a better understanding of how to approach this vulnerable population in faith. Your article was timely and informative to this very issue. I especially appreciated your comment about “ Christians with severe mental illness seek the same things as other Christians.” It’s so easy to assume we must provide or be informed about a special need, when really they need what everyone needs from church. Thank you for this perspective.

This is all shades of beautiful. It would seem the experience is similar for most of us

In reply to Letty. [from Sharon Hastings] You’re welcome, Letty. PMDD is probably under-recognized and I’m glad your gynaecologist is discussing options with you. Keep finding your identity in Jesus.
