Fr. Rob Kroll joins Patrick to discuss Mental and Spiritual Health (7:12) What is the correlation of mental and spiritual health? How does the prayer help with metal health? (19:12) Mary Ellen - I've struggled with mental health all my life. 60 years old. Suicidal, but I've always been faithful Catholic. I love God and have had a good relationship with Him. Even though I've been in and out of the hospital many times, I'm on meds that keep me steady and I've always had a deep faith life, but only since I've had good mental health therapy and meds. (24:51) Break 1 How can we be aware of our mental state? (30:17) Doug - I struggle with schizophrenia. I'm consecrated to St. Dymphna. I've seen many things with this illness. Struggled throughout most of my life. I live in a mental health community and we all struggle with many different diseases. Every day I wake up with my devotionals and spiritual guidance. Want to thank you all for bringing awareness. (36:12) Carlo - What does father thing about 'warm lines.'
