Mental health treatment and legal commitment issues were the subject of a recent series of Milwaukee Journal Sentinel articles.  When it is estimated that one in four Americans is affected by mental illness  I look for examples of hope and help for those confronting these challenges.  In the Vancouver Sun, Anna Browness-Park shares some valuable ideas on how taking control of our thinking can beat bipolar and depression issues.  An excerpt follows:

By Anna Browness-Park–“I think, therefore, I am” (Cogita Ergo Sum) wrote Rene Descartes. This simple statement became a fundamental proposition in Western philosophy and a foundation for the formation of all knowledge in the mid 1600s.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogito_ergo_sum

Two and a half centuries later, Mary Baker Eddy wrote: “The time for thinkers has come” at the beginning of her book “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.”  It’s a book that challenges the idea that thought is solely the province of the human mind, and explores the idea that there is a divine influence that can change the way we think about life and health. Her book came as a result of many years of research into how Jesus healed. This exploration led her to the conclusion that our very health depends on our ability to reason – i.e., think through something – spiritually.
