Today on FRIAR TIME, Dr. Jack Drescher returns for a timely and important conversation on understanding mental illness.
More than 1 in 5 adults in the United States lives with a mental illness — so why does stigma still surround it? Why do so many people struggle in silence? And how can we, as a society and as a Church, respond better?
In this episode, Dr. Drescher and I explore:
• Common misconceptions about mental illness
• The difference between everyday sadness and clinical depression
• Why so many people fall through the cracks of our healthcare and support systems
• The role the Church should play in addressing mental health
• How we can begin to replace stigma with compassion
Dr. Drescher is a medical doctor, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University, and a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. He brings decades of experience and insight to this essential national conversation.
It’s FRIAR TIME — let’s start talking.
