Once again Radio 4 has entertained me with a piece about a woman Minister/ Psychiatrist . She presented the idea that sometimes people with a mental problem such as anxiety or depression maybe better off not just being presented with the automatic medication as their experience maybe part of a period of development in their character or even a spiritual path to awakening of their true selves .
Her next idea was how many people thought to be showing signs of the phsycosis are actually having a spiritual experience and should not be given medication . A fascinating idea though but where are the lines to be drawn between the physcotic and the spiritual.... Is God speaking to you or are you having a breakdown ? I mean this as no insult and apply this idea to myself also . Interesting food for thought.....
