Some months back one of our listeners requested we cover the topic Mind, Body and Soul on our podcast series. With over 18 months of the pandemic under our belt we are more convinced of the connection between healthy mind, healthy body and healthy soul.

Today our guest is Dr. Norella Broderick. We explore studies which indicate that religion and religious practise can help reduce levels of depression and improve coping mechanisms with mental illness. We explore why some might find faith unhelpful in dealing with mental illness. Dr Broderick highlights the importance of authentically seeking answers and truthful solutions. We discuss the difference between spirituality and religion. And finish our discussion with take-ways for believers and non-believers alike.
