No pastor, troubled individual, or family should have to bear alone the overload of mental illness.   
I recently got an e-mail that captures the kind of problems that are so often misunderstood. This person wrote,

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d like to have a conversation with you about the way followers of Christ relate to issues of mental health.
