Spirituality and Mental Health

Spirituality involves exploring personal meaning, purpose, and connection with oneself, others, or a higher power, often providing comfort and resilience. Mental health refers to emotional and psychological well-being, enabling individuals to cope with life’s challenges, form relationships, and function effectively. When aligned, spirituality can support mental health by fostering hope, purpose, and a sense of belonging, which can reduce stress and enhance coping skills. Conversely, mental health struggles may affect one’s spiritual outlook. Overall, both are interconnected aspects of well-being that contribute to a balanced, fulfilling life.
