This morning Gene George will talk to us or share with us about mental health and we after her sharing her talk we will take up any questions that you have on mental health over to Gene George. Good morning and thank you Pastor Selena. Good morning to everybody. We're going to be discussing a little bit about mental health today. Mental health is a very very broad topic but nevertheless I'll try my best to cover the important points. I've just taken good mental health as today's topic and in the next couple of minutes we'll just go through what could be what are some predictors of good mental health or you know what are some things that we could take care of to be able to ensure that we have a good and a healthy mental health. I'll just take a minute to just share my screen just bear with me. Okay I hope this is this is everyone can see this. Yeah okay right so yeah let's just let's just start off with first and foremost understanding what good mental health is and why is it that we really need to focus on that. So good mental health is crucial for our overall well-being and it's good mental health that helps us to lead a full active and a meaningful life. So having good mental health is just not merely the absence of some mental health condition or mental health disorders instead it adds to it or it encompasses a lot of factors which is what we will look over in a few minutes. So when we look at scripture and the Bible the Bible does give us principles and insights of the holistic nature of us as humans and how a lot of aspects in our living or in our in our existence really influences our mental health and and how it influences one another and I just want to bring about a familiar scripture to you all which is found in 1st Thessalonians 523 and this is what it reads may God himself the God of peace sanctify you through and through may your whole spirit soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. So through this scripture verse we see that God desires to make us whole to make us sanctified and holy not just in our spirit being but entirely it's in our body in our spirit and soul so that we will be sound and blameless at the coming of the Lord Jesus. So I'd like to focus today on a broad overview of what aspects and predictors are of good mental mental health and I think around 10 or 11 points that I just want to quickly take you through so that we can you know we can ensure not just for ourselves but also for those we need that some of these aspects are taken care of so the first and foremost one as we as we you know as we all understand is is physical well-being now that's the most basic part of our well-being is our physical health so our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit so we need to take care of it by following regular practices so it can be regular exercise a balanced diet making sure that we have enough of sleep making sure that that we take care of not harming our bodies avoiding those harmful habits whether it be excessive food whether it be any other practices that would harm our physical body so the first one for a good predictor of mental health is our physical well-being the second one is emotional well-being and emotional well-being is the ability or emotional awareness is the ability to manage and regulate our own emotions so being aware of how we feel and finding ways to deal with our strong emotions predicts good mental health so it is important for us to first of all be aware of what we are experiencing emotionally and learning how to manage our emotions which means how do we express our emotions and how do we regulate our emotions so when we are in an emotional concern or an emotional overwhelm how do we learn to regulate that so that's another predictor of mental health the third one that we look at is social connectedness now social connectedness is the ability of us for us to build and maintain meaningful relationships with others and while we do that we experience a sense of belonging now this can be with our families this can be in our marriages with our children with our friends with a community of believers with a place that you work in so that's that it's that ability to have healthy relationships where you're able to connect to one another and build yourself up the fourth one is the sense of identity and purpose now knowing what one's purpose and what one's identity is really gives life meaning and the sense of direction and it is known to positively affect mental health so our identity and purpose can also have a bearing on the way that we see ourselves on our self-image and on our self-worth so where we pin our identity really predicts also how how we how our well-being is so to ensure that our sense of identity and purpose is in the right place and us for us as believers we know that it it comes from a deep relationship with Jesus knowing who we are in Jesus the the fifth one is early life experiences when there are good and healthy early life experiences or childhood experiences where there is a nurturing or a supportive or a stable childhood that can be a very good foundation for mental health so having those positive and nurturing early family relationships actually goes a long way in individuals feeling nurtured in individuals having a more stable outlook to life the next one is the ability to cope with stress so having good coping strategies such as learning how to solve problems finding support during time of difficulties engaging in disciplines in spiritual disciplines some of these are protective factors so whenever some people have we have struggles of how we learn to cope with those struggles really is a measure for good mental health the seventh one is thinking patterns now we see we read it over and over in the bible of how it talks about the renewed mind so a lot takes place when our thoughts are not aligned to truth so if there are negative and pessimistic thoughts this can often lead to significant emotional problems so focusing on channelizing our thoughts by the lens of the word of God can really help us navigate through hardships through struggles through difficulties we may face so to to really look at how we think what what are what is our self talk what are the kind of thoughts that we keep engaging in over and over is again a very important factor the eighth one is building intellectual capacities so a mind that is really set on learning and growing and developing personally is a very important factor in mental health a mind that's curious to learn to understand whatever the area of interest may be so that can be by where you're seeking out new experiences to learn building on your knowledge building on your skills all of this ensures one has an active mind so even when you're engaging in activities like your hobbies or other passions it's something that can bring you a lot of joy and and follow through into your purpose the ninth one is spiritual discipline spiritual discipline is that which builds your intimacy with God and that is a way to build faith to be able to seek wisdom to find comfort and strength so godly values can provide you know a moral framework that can guide one's behavior and decisions so when we live in alignment with these values it can lead us to that sense of peace and the 10th and the 11th one is an absence of chronic medical conditions so if there are conditions that causes chronic pain or other long-term long-term influences it is known to have a bearing on one's mental health and it can be a risk factor for mental health issues and the 11th one is abstaining from substances or addictive behaviors such as drugs alcohol other forms of addictive behavior such as pornography sexual addictions unhealthy use of gadgets all of this can prevent associated mental health problems so it's essential for us to understand that our mental health can fluctuate throughout our lives there will be times of good mental health but there will also be times of struggle or illness now recognizing this and knowing when and how to seek support whether for yourself or someone else is crucial so it's worth noting that the bible provides spiritual and moral guidance offers principles that can be beneficial for our mental health for specific mental health issues it is always advisable to seek appropriate medical or even counseling care while you wait on the lord for healing and wholeness that wraps up in short on good mental health i'll be open for any questions you would have over to you pastor salina thank you very much gene for giving us a broad overview of good mental health in just a few minutes thank you so much we will take up any questions any of you have any questions regarding mental health anything that gene has shared the 11 points that she has presented or if you have any other questions regarding mental health please feel free to unmute your mics and ask your questions or you can even post your questions in the chat section or if you have any doubts or you want to know anything more you can feel free to unmute your mics and ask and or you can even post your doubts your queries your questions in the chat section and gene will help us answer them gene can you continue to present that 11 points that sure sure sure i'll do that thank you anyone has any questions on mental health anything any doubts okay daniel oliver thank you for your question daniel oliver's question is how can we overcome stress okay thank you daniel for that question so i think first we need to just understand what stress is stress is is a physical react physical and emotional cognitive reaction towards something that's going wrong so our bodies also have a stress mechanism so every time you're going through stress your body responds and that's what we call a stress it is important to identify what are some symptoms of stress you would find physical symptoms of stress you would find emotional symptoms of stress you would find a intellectual symptoms of stress now all of this is it actually helps you to stabilize and build yourself back into some kind of an equilibrium so first and foremost it is to understand that stress is normal that we all have stress but to identify the sources of stress is the first and foremost point how do you identify the source of stress to really check with yourself what would what would you be going through at that point of time that's causing you that issue of stress now once you've identified it it is to it is to understand how is it that you can deal with that stress now if it let's say if it's if it's financial stress or if it's if it's stress maybe at your workplace really identifying that and finding a way as to how to minimize some of that some of that stress so some commonly that you know one of the issues that we find in stress is not being able to have a good balance to manage many things together maybe it's home it's work it's ministry how do you manage all of this together so first and foremost is to be able to you know kind of put down what your priority is and look at what are some controllables what are some things that you can handle you can control to help work out and what are some things that are uncontrollable like for example control controlling your situation could be maybe at your workplace it's probably just getting to work on time and be able to schedule you know a list of things that you need to that's a controllable that's something that you that you can do what is it uncontrollable maybe it's the things that others think about you it's not it's not a controllable it's not something that you can do about and you learn to find a way to work through that so prior first I did mention was to identify and then it's to be aware that you're in stress to identify the source of your stress third is to kind of make a list to find out what is what are things you can control what are things that you can't control and ensuring that you that you work through that there are a lot more of points but I'm just keeping it to a gist of these three thank you very much Jean George Daniel did that help answer your question how we can overcome stress so Daniel's other question is can we handle our own stress individually to overcome it yes absolutely Daniel you can do that and I think that's something that even through our even through our spiritual walk with God that's one thing that that we learn to do to be able to build our faith to be able to speak our faith to overcome whatever we are going through through the word through practices through ensuring that we we get the support of others and also some practical guidelines of really you know counting counting what is the cost that a certain situation may have towards your health like like I said you know if it's a workplace and if there are many things that you're doing or if there are multiple things that you're doing how do you count the cost how do you really look to see what is your priority and working towards that so yes it is absolutely possible to do that and some of these predictors I spoke about really help in dealing with with stress as well thank you Jean did that help Daniel okay we'll go on to the next question from Lucy Samuel she says how can we help guide speak to others from abstaining themselves from gadgets okay this again is a is an extremely broad topic but I'll just probably put one or two points it is it is I think first and foremost is to whenever you're getting into a conversation about anything that you're trying to help someone abstain it's always good to have them think about your question rather than giving them maybe 10 12 points about why they shouldn't be doing that so a good approach is to to probably put out a question like you know what how how does your gadget help you or what does it do for you or what does it not do for you you know when you do ask questions that help people think they come to a point of understanding or they come to a point of being more aware right that's one way that you can help is to pose a question so that they are in that brainstorming process with you rather than you bringing about a list of 10 points as to why or they shouldn't be involved in something so always engaging them in a conversation that's the first one the second one is often reading material that can help testimonies that can help of how stories of people maybe in gadget addiction what what it does or you know some kind of material that works that helps with understanding what an addiction can can do to someone is something that helps and often you would find that people are into some addiction because often okay it's just not the the only rule but often you will find people in addiction because it's a part of their coping either because of boredom that's when they probably use a lot of lot of gadgets or there isn't a sense of purpose that they have or they are they do not have an organized schedule for a day and that's what kind of gets them into addictive behaviors so getting people involved in something keeping them occupied in in either some work or something that engages them often you'll find that a lot of addictions actually loses its power right because it becomes a coping either for boredom or for depression or for or for a lack of stimulation these are some of the reasons why so getting them involved in something really kind of helps so I just said three broad points again I hope that that helps thank you Jean it was very helpful I think this is a concern for most parents and those working with teens and children I think it's important that you know one way we can help them is give them alternate activities that are engaging engaging their mind their body I can tire them that you know they will not be willing to go back and look at their gadgets and also like Jean said you know have a schedule so when when they have a schedule that they follow then the whole day is packed and they won't have time for gadgets yeah thank you thank you Lucy I hope that answered your question yes we'll go on to our next question from Sanjay he says as a believer how do we reach out to friends or loved ones with mental health issues who aren't believers I tried inviting a friend to church or a christian retreat but they declined my offer okay thank you Sanjay for that question yeah so um reaching out to people who are who are having mental health concerns needs to be done with a lot of empathy and compassion so the first and foremost thing that someone with a mental health concern may need is a connection is a relationship like like any other thing so one of the best ways to do that is being available for people who are having significant mental health issues often those with mental health issues especially those with depression and anxiety those kind of disorders feel very alone feel very isolated so just building that connection on a regular basis really helps them see that they are cared for that they are that they are loved that they are accepted right and so as you build that relationship with them I think that one of the next things the most powerful things that we have in our toolkit is prayer to be able to just spend some time and you know ask people if they are okay that you pray with them and often a lot of times I've seen it in my own personal experiences that a lot of people are more than willing to have somebody just speak over their lives and just pray for them because that in itself can open the power of the spirit to work in their lives so one is building a connection secondly is prayer third is um uh uh encouraging them to get support and help from a professional especially if it's something that you feel you're not able to handle on your own it is good to to take that effort to get them support so it may be just calling up a counselor or you know engaging with a psychiatrist who can actually get some some kind of support for them that is actually really really helpful and in time as you build that relationship with them is something that you can do is to you know open up them coming to a meeting to a to a Bible study or to or to a church service through a relationship is what is how you can bring people into into church right so that is true even with mental health so I I trust that you know some of these things are things we can just keep in mind as we are approaching people with mental health issues thank you again Jean and Sanjay I hope that helped that helped Sanjay okay we'll wait to hear from okay yes he says thank you thank you Sanjay for the query we'll move on to Susie Binu she says is it possible for someone to feel low without any underlining reason I have come across young people who feel very low on certain days for no apparent reason okay yes Susie yes it is true that people can feel low without any underlying reason so often you know when we look at mental health I'm just going to give you an analogy look at it like an onion right and when you're looking at mental health issues before you get to the core you have to peel out those those that are outside the skin that's outside you know you peel it out little by little before you get to the core so one of the things that we do is when someone does come in with any kind of mental health concerns the first and foremost thing that we do is to ensure to check to see if there are any physical contributing factors so certain certain physical conditions can cause a low mood like some of the examples are an inactive thyroid can cause depression or vitamin D deficiency can cause depression so that's the first thing that you would assess for and then you go to a doctor that's the first thing they will do they will ask you to do a couple of blood tests to actually check to see if there is any physical contribution to it all right so moving past that you move into the emotional realm then you move into the to the to the thought patterns to the to to how a person thinks then you move into the volitional path their will what are the things or the behavioral part what are the things that they do and the last is what we do is the spiritual the core of it is the spiritual being of them so anyone who comes to you this is a progression of how we would move into the more deeper thing so it is true that people can feel very low for no apparent reason now remember that feeling low and and having depression are two different things we all can experience the time of feeling low something happened someone said something to us something didn't go well you may experience a one or two day of feeling low or you know just feeling in feeling those morning blues all of that can happen and that's the normal normal pattern because we are emotional beings we do experience the world from our emotions so yes it is a normal thing however how we deal with those with those smaller periods of low or mood mood lows is definitely important you know and some of these practices is is something that helps us to overcome those low moods or those periods of mild depression or distress that we may be feeling I hope that helps I hope that helps Susie uh Jean can we also say hormonal cycles like the monthly cycles can also just bring about a low in the girls and the women yes that is the physical part of it as well yes yes thank you Jean Susie I hope that answered yes he says thank you so much we move on to the next question Jack in Joel as we have fluctuating mental health sometimes we ourselves are going through our lows is it okay for us to stay away from ministry so that we are in away from ministry that we are involved in on a temporary basis for example when people call you for prayer over phone is it okay to tell shall I call you after the week or do we direct them to some other person who can help them they might be going to tough times as well just like us okay maybe I'll put this out to the other pastors also but then I'll just share one or two things is that yes it is true be as ministers people who are also working for the Lord can experience all of this all of what jack in jack in all of what jack in spoke about just that feeling of low or just feeling a sense of stress and in my experience I think it is absolutely honest and integral on your part to to be able to share that you may not be able to respond or or you know call them at this point of time and it would be okay to give ask them to give you some time before you can call them back and personally I think that's a that's a healthy thing to do because often yes you may need to take care of yourself go go in the presence of the Lord to be able to gain strength to to be able to gain peace before you can actually minister from there so in my opinion I think it is it is okay but I'd like to leave it to the rest of the team if they'd like have any other thoughts thank you jean any of other faculty would like to help jack in with her questions just share my thoughts that and I agree with jean that as ministers we are also earthen vessels we are also human and we do face our you know our set of emotional challenges as well but I just want to qualify you know the fact is that as leaders we need to develop or we should have the ability to maintain ourselves strong stronger than the people we are serving which means I mean and I think of the classic example of David and his men you know after Zikla this is uh for Samuel I think the last chapter it's 23 I think but his entire team was down but David had to encourage himself in God so that he could you know hear from God and lead the team that means you know you can imagine more than find that people around you are all depressed upset discouraged and they're even thinking of stoning you and in the midst of it you have you have to hold yourself up emotionally also be in a position to hear from God and lead the team for lead the you know lead the people forward so I think that's a basic requirement of somebody in Christian leadership Christian ministry that is we need to be in a place to do that and we will have to do that very often so while you know we must take time to rest it is perfectly okay to tell somebody that you know sorry I will call back I will you know I'll get back to you after a few days all of that is perfectly okay but we have to be careful that we don't make that a habit if you make that a habit then we've got a problem that means we need to move ourselves out of that place of leadership go get help recover and then come back to our place of leadership otherwise it's going to be detrimental for everybody else who are following us and they can't have a wounded leader like Jesus said the blind leading the blind you can't have a wounded leader leading an army that's not going to work so I just want to qualify that as leaders it is important to develop the skill to be strong all the time we understand that we are human we need to take time off we need to balance it but we also need to recognize when we need to get ourselves out of our position of leadership when we ourselves need some serious help and we need to be you know cognizant of that we need to be willing to step out of that place of leadership and say hey I need six months to go through therapy I need a year of healing and and therefore I will not be leading during the time you know that's holding ourselves accountable for the benefit of the people we need to be able to do that and there's nothing wrong with doing these things I just my thoughts I'll leave it open to the others please thank you pastor for sharing yes oh I hope that answered your question Jacken anyone else would like to share on Jacken's questions or we can move on to the next question okay we'll move on to the next question from Zelletoli what sir how to deal with people who are in a denial mode that they need help with their addiction so I'll take up that question partly so denial often is a way for people to deal with situations that are anxiety-provoking and even also in addiction so it it's a coping mechanism where they are in a position where they do not face their fears or face their issues in a healthy or a productive way so if it is something that's causing problems if denial is causing problems or preventing them preventing a person from dealing with a condition like addiction it's important you know to keep engaging someone like that in conversation so let's suppose if someone your love is in denial about a problem it is to focus more on being supportive instead of instead of a forceful push never the less but I think when when we are being supportive you're being willing to listen and offering to help them as much as possible to get that support but you know especially in addictive behaviors we have seen that a lot of people who are in denial often wait for some kind of a crisis in order to turn for help and maybe at certain points of time you know there's such a huge wall that's built that they refuse to take that kind of a support so for for you who's a family member or who is a well-wisher it is to keep that that that open conversation with them so that you are you are showing that interest in helping them get the help that they need again going back to some of the points that I spoke about earlier a lot of times people in addiction do not know what are some of the pitfalls and pitfalls of addiction what happens to them as a result of an overuse of an abuse of a certain substance so just educating them about them about that sometimes can break those those denial patterns and of course you know the the biggest part of being able to minister to them in love and continuing to uphold them in prayer so that you know they they come to a point where they are able to get that support for themselves is essential thank you gene yes I think those points are very valid thank you I think it's important that we show them love and care also come across as being non-judgmental and I think often addictions can arise because of underlining issues that they have that you know some people feel that they're not loved cared for they're not able to handle stress it can be peer pressure it can be a whole lot of other things so we need to get down to the root of what is really you know getting them into this addictive behavior and address those concerns those issues that they may have and help them out and then as gene also said you know help them to see the harmful effects of what they are into what they're engaging in so that they are aware and you know that they can be helped in making the right decision I hope that helped zealot only thank you for your question okay thank you thank you gene again for answering Zellie's question oh our next question is from Daniel Oliver he says how can we help a person to overcome depression because a depressed person can't do anything on his own no matter whatever suggestions we give them they aren't in a mood or in a position to follow them so as a caring person what can be done and how it can be done to help them overcome depression over to you gene right thank you thanks Daniel for that question yes someone who has depression or as we call it this clinical depression like I did mention is very different from someone who experiences uh smaller periods of low so when we say someone's in depression if we look at it clinically we are saying that someone who has a low mood for over two weeks you will find that they are lethargic they are they are not able to do anything that you know either their their work or things their responsibilities they feel a sense of fatigue there are significant negative thoughts um severe depression is when these two if there are if there's a presence of these two symptoms that's um uh death wishes a desire to to just die and of course suicidal intentions or ideations now this is when we do call someone having clinical depression so when if you have experienced someone going through this it is first and foremost important to get them support and help so this means ensuring that they get that medical assistance because um the people under severe depression apart from the power of the Holy Spirit may not be able to snap out of it just like that so it is important to show care to show concern to show empathy and being able to help them get the right kind of support and help whether it is meeting a medical psychiatrist or getting the help of a counselor who's able to support and help them so that's that's that's a first hand especially if you do see um symptoms of suicidal ideations or probable attempts in the past it is a it is it's not something that you can take lightly it's something that needs to be taken seriously getting the support of probably immediate family members or or some support system so that they can be close monitoring as well as ensuring that they get that medical assistance now through this process or as they are doing this process is continuing to encourage them and strengthen them in the word to bringing back scripture back to them and if you actually look at the repository of the of the sermons there are sermons on how to deal with depression how to deal with anxiety through the word so just once they have got that medical assistance and help bringing them to that place of strengthening them through the word and encouraging them by prayer and and physical and emotional support is something that that can can be caring thank you very much jean uh daniel did that help answer your very can you give us the bible quotes which you're referring to um i think yes jean do you want to say something yeah i think these are available on the apc website there are sermons that's there on dealing with depression and anxiety where you will have there are a whole lot of references that are there and pastors also just put up a put up a link where you could find that yes thank you jean thank you pastor thank you daniel we'll move on to lucy's question how can we comfort strengthen people with scriptures for being neglected or for not being paid attention by people so i open this question up to our other faculty anyone would like to answer this question lucy's question thank you lucy for your question how can we comfort strengthen people with scriptures for being neglected or for not being paid attention by people and other faculty please help in answering this question please smitha you like to share smitha narona you there um just a quick thought here um so i just want to just two things actually one is um uh we can share scriptures on how much god loves us the fact that he is mindful of us and um and the fact that um you know he is um he's come to you know the holy spirit he lives in us and um he'll never leave us nor forsake us you know that's a big thing you know to know that we are loved by the god of heaven earth um that he knows us that he understands us that he is with us um now that's uh that's a very comforting uh encouraging truth and when a person gets a revelation of that that they are never alone and that will drive out you know all anxiety and fear like scriptures as perfect love drives out all fear right so that's uh that's the first thing i would say um to turn people through the father's love god's love um the second one is how god sees us that is our identity and how how does god see us to really see us see ourselves the way he sees us what thoughts that he does he have uh about us when he sees us as new creations um yeah so and again you know scripture gives us um uh when because the bible is full of his thoughts about us right about various things and also about us so when we when we share those scriptures in christ scriptures what we have become in christ who we are in christ um now these are realities right and the holy spirit will uh when we share those scriptures the holy spirit will uh bear witness uh with the person's heart and make it uh you know and bring much strength and comfort yeah anyone else can also add to this please yes thank you pastor jay kumar isaya anyone else would like to add or help lucy uh yes uh so i'd just like to add uh one more thing that we can do is really help them to understand their identity in christ uh so yes there will be people who will put us down or say things but really help them and to understand their identity in christ Ephesians 1 chapter 1 2 and 3 talks about it that we are seated with him we are blessed with every blessing and we are god's children and so when we you know we can encourage them to read these scriptures stand on their identity yes in the natural we may be facing neglect rejection ridicule but in the spiritual we are seated with him in heavenly places we are god's children so probably these scriptures can help and encourage them thank you thank you pastor Paul Emmanuel also basically get the person to just see you know how god looks at them how god values them how precious they are you know his thoughts towards them and i think there are numerous scripture passages that basically you know when you look at it you know god's thoughts towards us what he thinks about us where he has placed us his love for us you know how he values us and how precious we are thing is so beautiful and we really encourage them and strengthen them and build them and also pastor she says you know posted overcoming negative emotions the message series so you can help them with that we have just one more question by Esther can we just help you with this question suggest any christian organization that can help people in need regarding mental health gene quickly could just mention one or two please before we find out sure our very own chrysalis counseling where we where we do have where we do offer

in need in a specific state I could give you some of those details thank you so thank you very much gene for sharing for answering all the questions thank you all for for those of you who asked your questions your queries your doubts thank you for posting them thank you very much everyone for joining the mentoring session today and pass our she says also posted chrysalis counseling person to person and bcti we'll move on to our classes now have a blessed day we just pause for a quick word of prayer before we leave let's pray father we thank you god we thank you that you desire that we
