Mental Illness

Mental illness requires professional attention, someone with extensive training to deal with the cascade of problems that issue from its disruptive presence in one’s life.

Mental illness of some kind effects one quarter of all Americans, and about one quarter of those with mental illness suffer at a debilitating level. Mental illness comes in many varieties, from Mood Disorder, to Thought Disorders, to Personality Disorders. All of which can be frightening. Without proper treatment, they worsen beyond our ability to cope and can sometimes require hospitalization. If you suffer from a mental illness that effects your ability to function at a level that you find satisfying and productive, we at Grace Clinic would like to help discover a plan for life that restores to you stability and normalcy.

At Grace Clinic we will also want to move beyond the circumstantial challenges of over coming mental illness, and ask the question, how God might be seeking redemption by means of this very illness. That is, how might God be using the hardship and loss that a mental illness entails to carry you through a process by which he seeks to reshape and renew your life? Let us face those questions with you.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you! (Just kidding – use one of them for Personality Disorder as well)

"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was within me an invincible summer."

- Albert Camus

"I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings."

- Elie Wiesel

"Deep unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism, a regeneration, the initiation into a new state."

- George Elliot
