Episode Details

How should Christians think about mental health? When is counseling helpful? Is medication always the right answer? And how do we discern the difference between a mental health struggle and spiritual warfare? 

In this episode of The Shieldmaidens, we're joined by a licensed mental health therapist, Marideth Kates, who specializes in working with teenagers and young adults. Together, we tackle some of the toughest questions Christians are asking today... from over-diagnosis and medicating children to anxiety, depression, identity, and the role of faith in the healing process. 

Our goal isn't to create division between faith and mental health care, but to encourage biblical wisdom, thoughtful discernment, and compassionate conversations as we seek truth together.
