Today is the National Day of Prayer for Mental Illness Recovery and Understanding.
Prayer and treatment are not in competition here either. Recovery from serious mental illness, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other conditions like them, is possible, and it usually involves both community support and real clinical care, medication, therapy, consistent treatment.
If your faith community prays for someone living with a serious mental illness today, let that prayer sit alongside encouragement to stay in treatment, not instead of it.
