One in four people in the world will be affected by mental illness at some point in their lives. More than 16 million U.S. adults had at least one major depressive episode in the past year.
In 2013, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland offered his empathy and advice to those facing mental illness. Years ago, when his stress was high and his energy was low, Elder Holland says he “took a psychic blow that was as unanticipated as it was real.” He and others have found that spiritual healing and medical healing work together to form the key to lasting happiness.
“We do the best we can and we manage the situation. But when we’ve done all we can do, we endure. Hang in there and count on light at the end of the tunnel,” he says.
Have you or a loved one endured mental illness? How do you maintain faith in God’s love and Elder Holland’s message of hope?

I’m not LDS personally but how refreshing and comforting to see your church not only acknowledging this disease but offering support, reminding people they are worthy of help. One thing that I really have noticed about Mormons is the way they band together and help those who need it.

@Stephanie P, we're so sorry for the hurt and pain you've experienced. It is so difficult to feel like we don't fit in. At times when we feel alone or excluded it can help to know that Jesus Christ knows perfectly our sadness and hurt. He was despised, rejected, misunderstood and betrayed by those who should be His friends. He will never leave you and He is always there! Continue to pray to our Heavenly Father to feel His love, keep your covenants, and you will be blessed for the kindness and forgiveness you extend to others, even when you don't receive it in return. The blog post below may provide some comfort in your situation: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/blog/the-longing-for-belonging?lang=eng

❤️ We try. And that is what it is all about. I believe that it is the power of Jesus Christ’s love that brings this out in people; whether they are members of the church or not. Anyone who is a true disciple of Jesus Christ will in time be led to want to help others and to feel compassion for others.

Rob Mullen, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland is my favorite Apostle. I love his talks, his advice. I feel as if he is talking directly to me. I pray for his and his wife's health. I know we all have death waiting for us, but I pray to Our Heavenly Father to spare him, heal his body. I know I'm not the only one who needs his knowledge and spiritual direction. I thank him so much for what he has given me and he doesn't even know. I've never met him in person, but his talks are so on point and full of emotion, I always have tears running down my cheeks when he talks. My fondest wish is to meet him, and tell him how much he means to me, what he gives me in his talks.

It was a distraction from my thoughts, and when I finally solved it, it felt so good that I could do something.

I still remember the last time I tried to commit suicide. It's like it happened yesterday, yet on that same day I made a choice to never let it happen again. It's been a little over 3 years since I made that choice and Heavenly Father has been with me that whole time, helping me to never fall back down that hole. May he always be with any of you, that you may be happy and not fall down that same hole. If you are down that hole, then may he help you find a way out.

I'm glad you are still alright. I too have a history of self-hurting and suicide, i remember one time i tried to kill myself by hit my head repeatedly into a wall, halfway through, it got so painful that i couldn't feel my head anymore so i lie down. Then i remember about a game i like coming out next month so i thought, maybe wait for a while before killing myself? And that thought has kept me alive through various attempts. My point is that when you think about taking your own life, also think about what you love and what you might miss out should you choose to end it today. Though my depression has not gone and i can't talk with my family about it, i would not try to commit suicide before thinking twice about it. Hope it works for you guys too. Your life MATTERS, you are MATTERS.

I remember being a little child. I remember feeling so small and lost and unwanted. I remember thinking terrible things. But in those moments, I had something to cling to. "I am a Child of God, and God and Jesus love me. And if they are perfect, and they love me, then that must be right. I am loved." I can honestly say that if it weren't for the lessons I learned in Church and at home from my parents, I don't think I would be here. There are still times where I cannot muster love for myself. But in its stead, I can borrow my Heavenly Father's love for me instead. He knows everything, and if he loves me, then it must be right.

you are you, you can decide to be kind to others as you wish them to be kind to you. nobody is perfect, if there was perfection then there would be no problem solving. the best thing is to leave a net positive in the world, anyone who claims to know all the answers has stopped asking questions, and why is it ever bad to ask questions? from a child to discover their own feet to testing the limits of a parent's moratity in teaching us. testing limits is how we find out the boundaries of our world, any "god" that says they have all the answers makes me wonder why they don't want me to ask questions. if the answers are right, why not stand up to questions?

After my parents divorced I started falling hard in depresssion. I was 17 and I didn't want to continue with my life anymore. I would cry and cry everyday. I was scared to continue in life I didn't want my own future marriage to go in the route of divorced. My anxiety grew and I would get many panic attacks. I couldn't sleep many days. I fell away from the church because I felt like god left me alone. I felt truly alone. Tried to take my life two times. I thank my patriarchal blessing though because of that blessing I read one day it turned my life around. My perfect life was in that paper so many promises. I ran to the bishop, went to the doctor. I got a calling in the church. I'm going out to teach with the Missioneries. I love this gospel I love the atonement. I love my savior cause he never left me alone. I strive to become like Jesus everyday. We are not alone please remember that ❤

I might go so far as to say no weakness is a fault at all! I would say weakness can be the cause of faults. But weakness in and of itself is never a fault. It is something that can even be useful, as Ether so acknowledges. If weaknesses can become strengths, then they are not to be discarded. They are to be transformed instead.

My mother told me that if I could read the WHOLE Book of Mormon before the October General conference, I could go down to Salt Lake and watch general conference in real life. I'm so excited. I'm so glad that I get to see Elder Holland. And President Monson. The scriptures are what I do to get me out of those moments where my mental illnesses kick in. I turn to the scriptures. Priesthood is also key. Amazing what we can do with the restored gospel.

Did you get to go to General Conference⁉️⁉️. I seriously hope you were able to attend‼️. It is an especially wonderful experience but can also be very over stimulating and exhausting too so I hope and pray that your mom and you were able to take picnic foods to feast your physical needs as you were able to partake of the Spiritual Feast as supplied by our terrific general authorities--In between sessions that is.☺️Mental illness challenges don’t make appointments to “burst on your scene”. It often is at its worst at the MOST INOPPORTUNE times-of course! I hope and pray that you are finding the most effective ways and means and people to help you along your life’s path.-YOU ARE NOT ALONE- the adversary would have us buy into believing that we ARE alone. --WE ARE NOT ALONE-- and there are others just waiting to be asked to listen!!! May Our Heavenly Father’s blessings for you be REALIZED by YOU. You are a ONE-&-ONLY, even if you have an identical twin‼️. I know this for a fact because I have had two(2) sets of twins as a mother and none is like another except visually-and even then, visually, there are uniquenesses in each individual!!!! ALL are GLORIOUS in Our Heavenly Father’s Eyes and Heart. And our Elder Brother, Jesus Christ, came with that very message... and He is committed to seeing us through this life-maze and returning to Our Heavenly Father’s Presence, “...trailing clouds of glory..” YOU CAN DO LIFE‼️ One moment-at-a-time.

I have wrestled with serious adversaries and have been saved by the Lord's grace and love. I've lost my hope several times before and he still showed me love. He still abide with me even when I couldn't take it anymore and wanted to leave this world and tried to 3 times ,he still showed me love and forgave me and blessed me. And because of my illness he has helped me learn to have more faith in him ,to love more deeply, to have more compassion, to be stronger in the face of fear and to love one another.

I was in a dark place mentally and really needed to hear these words. I struggle with an anxiety disorder and at some points it makes me feel very far away from the Spirit, Christ and Heavenly Father. This talk really helped. I wonder if more people recognise this and have some advice?

I personally have genetic depression. I've been lucky enough to be able to control it well enough in these recent years with the help of those around me. A friend of mine is now going through a very dark time when before he was a shining light to me. It has been seeming that no matter how hard I try, it seems as though I've lost my friend. I needed peace this morning, and this was the first video I saw. Not everything has been solved obviously, but at least I've been reminded that I shouldn't lose hope. I didn't lose it before, and I most certainly cannot lose it now. I love my Savior, and I am forever grateful for what he has done for not just me, but for all of God's children. I know not everyone will share this same belief, but I would hope that we will all be able to believe in hope itself at the very least. It's worth holding onto.

I didn't know how truly hard mental health is until it happened to me. This message always brings me to tears because it reminds me that I experienced both the trial and the promised blessings that continue to this day. Don't give up, hold on with all you have an truly believe it will be better. Even if you make 1% progress to being whole that day, keep going, I know you'll get there and I know because I had to get there and the joy I felt has kept me going ever since.

As someone who personally deals with anxiety and depression I can 100% relate to this. The fact that there are days when you feel like you just can’t go on….. that the pain will never go away…. While I still fight this daily, I know that my Savior is with me and that you can still find joy in this life. And when it’s time for Him to call me home, I’ll be ready. But as long as I’m here…. There’s a reason and I try to make the best of it. For all of you that are struggling - know that you’re not alone. Pray and ask for His help. He is there and he’ll help you if you’re willing to take his hand 🙏🏽

This talk came at a pivotal moment in my life. After praying for answers for why I could not be healed from my depression and would I ever be whole in my mind and heart in this life, this talk saved my life that general conference day. Elder Holland told me to time a knot in my rope and hold on. Amazingly, i made it through that moment, and have come out on the other side. After much work and listening to what changes I needed to make through the guidance of the Holy Ghost, I am now completely off of anti depressants for the first time in 20+ years. Heavenly Father is there and will answer our prayers if we are willing to listen and make changes. I testify it works.

I’ve suffered from severe mental illness since I was 6. I’m 35 and have suffered debilitating panic attacks one after the other after the other, the last one happened about two hours ago. I have severe generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, PTSD, agoraphobia, panic disorder, Major depressive disorder, dissociative disorders and many issues with sleep. Every day, literally every single day is a fight for survival. By the grace of God I am still alive. I’ve only attempted suicide once despite having chronic thoughts of suicide for the past decade. I Couldn’t have survived even this very day without my Heavenly Father holding my head above the water and my Jesus holding me in His arms. This life is SOOO hard and so painful and so crushing. Chronic mental illness is truly excruciating.

I am indeed a Christian. And sometimes I have a hard time being able to tell which is which but there's another Mormon message called patterns patterns of light that explains it really well. The moments when it's most clear to me it's the holy ghost is just a moment that it feels like someone is right by me. Faith isn't knowledge but hope. I do receive clinical help for it, and I've gotta say modern medicine and practices are a blessing in and of themselves

The white J Cole​ That is a great question and honestly I don't know. Though if I did it wouldn't be called faith. I do believe that each religion has it's aspects that promote the spirit in different ways. Service to someone is a good thing regardless of what religion takes part in it. Deciding which religion has the full truth is to our own decision and agency.

The white J Cole We are blessed to have both! There is no substitute for spirituality; it's truth. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints teaches of your divine nature and individual worth, (You are NOT your illness!) Gives eternal perspective on your purpose in life,(YOU are needed!) Helps understanding of why everyone has some kind of adversity to overcome, (Opposition makes you stronger and gives you the compassion to help others when you are able.) Teaches you how to pray, receive answers, comfort, & guidance.(You CAN forgive & forget and become clean.) Gives you a local support system (Ward Family) to call on. All of this helps to endure the hard times and get up every time you fall. Even if you cannot feel the Holy Spirit because of illness or meds,or find the support yet, like they have for diabetes or cancer, you are NOT alone: I love The Holy Bible KJV (visualize Christ pulling you up out of the sea, into his warm embrace like Peter) and The Book of Mormon.(visualize holding on the iron rod through the mists of darkness. Then take baby steps. And when you're tired,remember there are angels around you to bear you up! The Dr. experiments to find the right medication at the right dose, sometimes for years and the side effects can actually make things extremely worse, before you get better. You must exercise faith & endurance that YOU WILL GET BETTER. Spirituality can help see you through. Kindly enlighten me on Psycho/bio treatment. Is that like cognitive or behavior therapy? God bless!
