Book excerpt: Bob Bienvenu we are getting to the end of my story about mental illness and how spirituality can greatly help one in dealing with their illnesses and also greatly enhance their lives I started my book with the history of mental illness and how science and medicine have progressed in dealing with the mentally ill. Then I gave a history on the beginnings of psychiatry and therapy and I gave information on our early founding fathers of psychology and its progression and new knowledge up until today. Finally I covered some of the more well-known mental illnesses with information on their causes and their symptoms and treatment while adding my own opinions on spirituality and other ideas I have acquired from researching mental illnesses for my television show. Also the knowledge and information I have received from my psychiatrist and therapist and my mental health support groups I have been going to on and off for the last 20 years. Finally I have given you the reader insight into the different ways I have coped with my mental illnesses by always taking my medicine, seeing my doctors and going to church and my NAMI support group. And lastly and the most important part of my recovery is developing a relationship with Jesus Christ who besides being the CREATOR OF THE WORLDS and The Supreme Being has given me a new lease on life and has given me salvation by believing in him for all things and most of all knowing him as A FRIEND WHO STICKS CLOSER THAN A BROTHER. I do hope I have given those who have read this book encouragement and hope if you are dealing with a mental condition or you are caring for a loved one with mental issues. I adhere to everything I have talked about and it has given me a new and happy and productive life and I hope it will do the same for you. Remember as the bible says, Pray without ceasing, Prayer and Love are the two of the most powerful forces in the UNIVERSE besides the name of JESUS. To all my readers I wish you GOD speed and may you find GOD. GOD bless you all WITH MUCH LOVE BOB BIENVENU
