Maclean’s recently had an article speaking on how the increased joblessness in the US has correlated with an increase in diagnosed mental illness cases; that prolonged joblessless creates stresses and removes the routine, structure and purpose in one’s life. It could also be argued that not having work has allowed the mental distress to surface. Perhaps it is the same for spiritual health, that a lot of church structure and events and busyness hides what’s really wrong with someone’s relationship with God. With that said then, perhaps some amount of structure could make the symptoms more manageable, but none the less the root problems must be dealt with.
