Navigating Your Path Through Mental Illness
A Christian Guidebook
After forty years of work in the field of psychiatry, Dr. Steven Rice sheds a hopeful light on the dark side of mental illness in his Christian guidebook. Starting out as skeptical student and doubtful Christian, Dr. Rice made a powerful journey to a place of hope for all those suffering. He reminds us that we are not alone, that help is available in many forms, and that God is with us. By sharing case examples from his own practice and also from the Bible, Dr. Rice compassionately describes many mental illnesses and aims to remove any stigma around seeking help.
Bipolar Disorder
Depression
Anxiety
Psychosis
Intellectual disability
Attention deficit disorders
Addiction
Autism
Dr. Rice believed that people who lived in biblical times also suffered from mental illness, and that there is much to learn by reading their stories. In the book he wrote about many cases including
Abraham
Jonah
Job
Nebuchadnezzar
Prophet Jeremiah
Dr. Rice passed away in 2019, and this book is his legacy. He wanted you to know that with professional help, prayer, and support from family and friends, healing is possible. He also discusses medication in the book and finding the right medication for you.
