Relationship between Spirituality and mental health

                                 Relationship between Spirituality and mental health

 

Research has proved that there is a link between spirituality and mental health.  In the past people believed that religion had a bad influence to health, but the current research reveals that the linkage is even more complex (Paloutzian & park, 2013).  The title shows the impact of religion and spirituality on physical health. Studies have revealed that spirituality can serve as a psychological and social source for coping with stress (Kavar, 2012). Also many people such as Sigmund Freud believed that those who followed religion and spirituality where mentally sick therefore didn’t have the right frame of mind. this is the problem that many can link the two together but evidence has shown that there is truth in this subject I you would research further at (Kavar, 2012)., Wikipedia the relationship between spirituality and Psychology the proof is there and shows that mediation, prayer ,can work. My understanding of this issue is pretty good because I have suffered from depression and through prayer, mediation and mental health Professionals I have overcome my illness.  The truth of the matter is mental health and spirituality goes hand and hand.

 

 

 

Spirituality will definitely influence your psychological view to the community, society and to different individuals. Religious beliefs have been influenced to things like hysteria, neurosis, and psychotic delusions (Cook, Powell & Sims, 2009). Nevertheless, on the other side, the relationship between religion and spirituality to mental and physical health is greatly beneficial. There have been proposals of positive effect in relationship between spirituality and religion (Swanton, 2001) some believe that religion could help cure mental illness it is no doubt the prayer and mediation is a connection between mental illness and religion. As you look at The ways psychology can impact your life there is more than  one way it can lead to spirituality as positive psychological is a clear path that helps one reach success with their mental illness if you look in the books of Argosy University and other means to find this info you will find that positive psychology can and may lead you to spirituality. I would like to submit a brief piece of info from the founder of positive behavior. Religiousness has often been found to correlate with positive health attributes. People who are more religious show better emotional well-being and lower rates of delinquency, alcoholism, drug abuse, and other social problems. Six separate factors are cited as evidence for religion’s effect on well-being: religion (1) provides social support, (2) supports healthy lifestyles, (3) promotes personality integration, (4) promotes generatively and altruism, (5) provides unique coping strategies, and (6) provides a sense of meaning and purpose.^] Many religious individuals experience emotions that create positive connections among people and allow them to express their values and potential. These four emotions are known as “sacred emotions,” which are said to be (1) gratitude and appreciation, (2) forgiveness, (3) compassion and empathy, and (4) humility (Wikipedia 2016) as you read this bit of information one can see that spirituality in religion can lead to better mental health and healing these are just a few thing that it can impact
