Research Project

This blog is presently being used to conduct research on certain aspects of Religion and Health. These aspects will hopefully be better defined as the research proceeds further. It has been suggested that we gather as much materials as possible on Psychosis and Mysticism, preferably by experts in the field, not people who write stuff based on their beliefs, on religious beliefs (which are often not founded or proved) or on their subjective experience. It has also been suggested that we also take into account psychiatric, sociological, philosophical as well as psychological elements in this research. We would like to write a paper following international professional guidelines and take all precautions in referencing etc.

Looking forward to finding an interesting evolution of posts and comments on our blog in way of this proposed research.

Depression and religion

The subject of depression being quite sensitive in nature is rarely dealt with at official level except within the confidentiality of professional circles in the health department. Patients suffering from depression find it quite difficult to approach religious authorities to gain helpful insights on what they suffer from from a religious perspective. They have recourse to a social support system especially centred around health professional circles, peer groups and family.

In certain mental illnesses like manic depressive psychosis also known as bipolar disorder, we find alternation between depression and mania accompanied with occasional psychotic episodes.
