Ep. 326 - Mental Hell to Mental Wellness Psychologist Stacey McDonald Helps Reclaim Your Sanity

Stacey McDonald was just a child when her father began exhibiting symptoms of schizophrenia. Her father’s frightening behaviors that followed changed her life forever, and have inspired her life’s work. Stacey is an author, speaker, and psychologist who wrote the ground-shaking book, The Gospel of Mental Health: From Mental Hell to Mental Wellness. Stacey touches on the underlying causes of depression and shares insight into the misconceptions that Christians and churches perpetuate about mental health problems. Stacey also reminds us that an attitude of gratitude is the most impactful game-changer when it comes to combating depression for Christ followers.
