The Mental Health ChaplaincyWorking to rebuild faith in the struggle with mental illness Almost 10 percent of us experience a serious mental illness, such as major depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, in the course of our lives. An imbalance in brain chemistry can cause prolonged confusion, suffering, and despair, as well as severe alterations in our thinking, feeling, and capacity for relationships. Our spirit and soul are deeply affected. The Chaplaincy shares the journey, working to rebuild faith in the struggle with illness.
