No mental health is chemical and/or physical whereas spirituality is something you can control. You can choose to believe in a higher being but you cannot choose to have mental health. Often times people dont even know they have issues until its too late and there is also a stigma to admitting you have problems whereas no stigma exist in your beliefs. God bless!

@B2nd2none Spirituality is absolutely fundamental to physical wellbeing. You can define it an an endless number of ways, but aligning one's mind to meet and manage the work, the trials and the journey of mental wellness ensures much greater success than not.
Mental illness is largely a function of the body's systems, I agree; it doesn't mean it has to be met and fought on that level. There's actually abundant research on this.

@Graylight The word spirituality is very vague and can have many meanings. If you do not believe in higher beings or that we have souls, you can still be fine both mentally and physically without being spiritual. Although I believe there is a god and I try to spread his good word I would never push my beliefs on to someone who doesnt. God bless you and the author.

@B2nd2none Indeed, there are many meanings to the concept of spirituality. And spirituality is a core concept of healthy, whole body recovery from some mental illness. My worry is only a professional one, and that's that physical and psychological needs are met with only religion. That can be dangerous.
Welcome, as I haven't crossed paths with you. You'll find I test people sharply in this area to stem the tide of preaching masquerading as knowledge or fact. It's all with the the aim of trying to maintain the personal power of faith. No doubt we'll run into each other again; I look forward to it.
