It seems as though many in the LDS culture had the attitude that if you were having problems in life, you weren't living the Gospel properly. The idea that there are times when medical or mental health professionals need to be brought in is a welcome one.

Church leaders everywhere, take note. This is a much bigger problem than you realize. Yes it's real and no I'm not exaggerating. I lived with your ignorance on it long enough. Time to wake up.

Thank you for running this. I have watched mental illness destroy the lives and happiness of so many friends. Instead of helping the suffering member, our culture in the Church seems determined to judge, to condemn and to lecture. Shaming the mentally ill is its root passion.
I hope you will spend some time on some of the more serious mental illnesses. Church members need to be better educated.
