Mental Diseases And Christianity
Mental diseases and Christianity.
Many Christians are concerned with a so – called bipolar disorder. I hope you have heard about this mental illness. For the last it has become clear that a certain buzz is starting about this mental illness. I should emphasize that physical disabilities are considered to be quite acceptable by Christians. But at the same time I can’t say that Christians have the same attitude to mental ones. Mental disabilities are odd one out in this case. I hope I don’t mistake in this case
For instance there are quite definite symptoms of bipolar disorder. Of course you might have heard about such things as hallucinations and certainly delusions. These symptoms mentioned above can be clearly noticed in case of an evident manic episode. In most cases church is likely to have this person accused of containing demons in his body. By the way it’s known that some churches deal with casting out demons out of human bodies. If I’m right this practice is known around the globe as exorcism.
I should stress that in other churches, this phenomenon can be denied. In this case this illness isn’t considered to be illness but something another. Others trying to accuse disordered people of making it up just for fun or other purposes. In such a way a particular person might feel a real confusion even if he has been diagnosed by an experienced doctor.
The problem is that those people exposed to bipolar disorder might feel themselves sentences to live with a certain stigma caused by a special attitude of church to him. This stigma might accelerate this mental illness making it more dangerous to my great regret. It’s a great pity that very often this person with bipolar disorder might be shunned by church. The most terrible and certainly shameful thing which might occur is a kind of situation when this person is simply thrown away of church. Of course I somewhat hyperbolize it. In other words this person might be forbidden to attend a particular church.
Sometimes closer friends of people with this disorder advise him to attend church to cure this disease of their soul. In fact his first reaction is certainly his attempt to attend the nearest church with rather unpredictable results for him. It goes without saying that this person is simply left alone torturing himself with an annoying question why God keeps on refusing to heal him. He probably thinks that he can’t be considered to be a true follower of Christian belief if he’s denied by the whole universe. Of course the main danger is that this poor person might reject Christianity being offended by church. In this case he might follow numerous fake fashionable beliefs. This issue should be considered thoroughly because it’s not rational and morally right to abandon ill people in this situation.
