A person with mental health issues...

"A person with mental health issues is given a certain amount of time to humble themselves before God and begin to break their pride. If they start to align their life with God's commandments, they will gradually and steadily heal and recover. But if their ego is too strong and they refuse to change, they will confess to a psychiatrist instead of to the Lord, and they will futilely treat their nerves with medication instead of with the Holy Mysteries."

+ Elder Gervasios of Mount Athos
