Do you know that religion, medicine, and healthcare have been related in one way or another in all population groups since the beginning of recorded history? Care for those with mental-health challenges in the West also had its roots within monasteries and religious communities. Only in recent times have these systems of healing been separated, and this separation has occurred largely in highly developed nations and in many developing countries. Come and learn together how religion and psychiatry began to part paths and what can we do in the process of re-integration.
