Psychiatric medication doesn’t cure mental illness. However, using it wisely as part of a holistic approach to addressing mental health challenges can provide relief from some of the most debilitating symptoms. Medication just might be what someone needs to begin cultivating a greater level of mental health.
In this talk, Ryan discusses:
- How embodiment informs a Christian perspective on psychiatric medication
- Using medication to alleviate suffering
- Viewing medication as a means, not an end
