Our February Theme is Love.
The role of Love in Mental Health – The one ingredient on which any recovery from
serious mental illness depends is also one which, curiously and grievously never makes an
appearance in any medical or psychiatric diagnostic, namely Love. Love – whether from
a friend, partner, an offspring, a parent has an indomitable power to rescue us from mental illness.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-5 says “Love is patient and iskind; love does not envy, does not
boast, is not proud; does not dishonor others, is not self-seeking, not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”
“Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything.”-Helen Keller
