Is Mental Illness a Myth?

It has become increasingly popular to blame a lot of various negative behaviors on someone's mental illness. It is accepted as gospel truth that if someone has been diagnosed by a "doctor" with some form of mental illness then their behavior in many ways is untouchable and so are they. The problem is that the Bible does not seem to point us to the same conclusion. Scripture doesn't seem to paint things like overwhelming anxiety, depression, ADHD, and others as illness at all.

Instead scripture likens these as sin instead of illness. In this episode we will discuss whether or not mental illness is real, the difference between psychiatry and addressing real physical injuries that inhibit normal brain function, and more.
