You can have peace in a troubled world More people (than we know) worldwide have a mental illness - such as depression, anxiety, fear, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and other addictive behaviors. In my ministry to others, it has remained one of the most challenging situations to handle. The World Health Organization says that it is a leading cause of disability globally. Some common signs of mental or emotional illnesses include: -Constant feeling of sadness. -Confused thinking or reduced ability to concentrate. -Unwarranted fears, worries, or extreme feelings of guilt. -Life-threatening mood changes of highs and lows. -Withdrawal from friends and social activities. -Extreme overtiredness, low energy, or constant difficulty in sleeping. -Removal from reality (delusions), paranoia or illusions. -Inability to cope with day to day problems or stress. -Trouble relating to situations and people. -Alcohol or drug abuse. -Major changes in eating habits -Sex drive changes. -Too much anger, hostility or violence. -Unnatural suicidal thoughts. -Sometimes sufferers experience stomach pain, back pain, headache, or other unexplained aches and pains. Why do people have a mental illness? Medical research does not know precisely what causes mental illness. They suggest it could be a result of genetic factors, environmental exposure (stress, provocative conditions, toxins, alcohol or drugs) or unidentified brain chemical reactions. In this book, Less Panic More Hope, my goal is to speak healing and restoration to your mind. I want to show you that there is hope, and that life has excellent opportunities for you irrespective of what you have gone through. I want to help you identify your fears, worries, anxieties, depressions, and other mental and emotional challenges you have right now, and deal with them with God's word. I want to encourage you to take your discouragements, anxieties, fears, and disappointments to God in prayer and experience His peace that passes understanding.
