I gave my life to Christ 5 months ago. Since then it has been emotion and mental hell on earth. Complete agony. Tormented and tortured by demons 24/7. This is no walk in the park and not for the faint of heart. Sometimes I wish I could go back to not believing back then life was much easier and I was ok mentally. But I'll keep believing that one day he'll deliver me.
Stay in the Word...the Word...the Word. Speak the Word out load. My life was much easier before I became a Christian too but the level of attacks indicated I was valuable to the Kingdom of Heaven as I know you are too. I want to encourage you to keep pushing thru, Jesus of the King of Peace, the Lover of your soul, the Healer. He's got all the answers so keep seeking Him.

Don't forget hormonal issues, as well.
I spent years being told that I was Bi-polar and then they said I had Borderline personality disorder, and they kept changing my medications and *nothing* was helping.
I finally got a counselor who actually listened to what I was saying, and she suggested that my problems might be caused by hormones. She referred me to an excellent gynecologist at USC medical center, and that doctor put me on hormone therapy after hearing what I had to say.
That was the beginning of true healing for the first time in my life.
A few years later I found an awesome church that had a ministry focused on setting Christians free from demonic oppression (not possession, since true Christians cannot be possessed by demons), and my constant desire to die since I was 5 years old was gone in a few hours.
Praise Jesus that today I am finally free of the things that weighed me down for most of my life. 🙌🙌🙌🙏✝️❤
Bless you sister! The Lord is with you!
True Christians can be possessed, it is a cruel lie that you have been taught to repeat. Children are offered to demons all the time in our world and can turn to Christ for salvation and freedom. Please reevaluate what you are saying, thoughtless words can do so much damage
YOU GO! SISTER!!!! I loved everything you said cause almost everything you said is very close to my alledged MH diagnosis since 2001 911 in fact my Birthday what NOT a Funny joke God bless you
Amen
Yes hormonal can effect us. I have a anxiety disorder, bipolar, depression and I'm also former transgender women, so i take a lot of hormonal pills for 8 years. After 4 years being a trans, i belive in Jesus and got babtized, and after 4 years being a Christian God miraculously change me to my Birth Gender as a Male. So I don't take my hormonal pills anymore. Since i don't take it, my Mental Disorder back again and demon oppressed me so hard. I go to Psychologist now and it getting better after 3 months. And I need your prayer guys for my Mental Health. Btw my name Yosep. I really need your prayer, thankyou so much 🙌🏻👍🏻
Please pray for my son who has schizophrenia. That I may actually find a Christian doctor who he can trust and that can help us.
I am no longer on my medicine for CPTSD etc...(I am for hyperthyroidism) , and I don't need it anymore. re: anxiety, PTSD, etc...I am not even taking herbal medicine any more. Sometimes, you can heal a physical disorder through prayer and be OK. I was told I would have to take it for life, and now I am free. Having that peace back and control over one's mind is incredible. I wouldn't wish that level of distress, inner torment, and flashbacks on anyone. I pray for everyone going through a mental health condition. We can all be strong for too long before things push us over the edge. Having a daily connection to Christ, and the Bible (the Old and new Testaments) is so important.
Thank God there's actually a Christian who says that sometimes it's physical and/or emotional, and that it's not always as simple is praying to God and then you're instantly healed. As much as I've been praying for that and expecting God to heal me, it's on HIS time, as sometimes He wants us to seek other treatment first, in order to learn certain lessons that are part of our life's path that God had made for us.

Yes but what is causing that physical or emotional conditon in the first place?
Struggled with depression all my life. Came to know Jesus in my 20's. Then had 2 blind children with also mental health and depression. God is good but life is challenging to say the least.
Start reading psychology books on how to raise happy children. Ask God to help you be a wise mother to your children
I deal with depression but thank the Lord my kids are happy but they can be very rebellious sometimes
Bless you guys
He's with you and He's proud, that's why you have been entrusted and Blessed with their beautiful souls...
Sending love from another struggle monkey, from the UK 🇬🇧
My fellow Brethren in Christ, please, please pray for me, for I am under the spirit realm attacks from Satan on as the Dr said having what if type of very dark and fearful thoughts. So please pray for me so that i can completely repel it in the name of Jesus, it's been like that for quite a while now. So please my brothers and sisters, do pray for me
Thank you and God bless you
Go see a real Dr. somebody that actually studys medicine and psychology based on years and years of research. Take medicines that have also been proven to help with certain disorders. Also based on years of scientific research and evidence. Science will be your best help.. Go see a real doctor. Jesus has not yet once healed anyone. I don’t see him in the hospitals. Only doctors.
@@goldandsilverfacts Maybe he heals some so they never need to go to hospital but He has healed many in hospital. Plenty testimonies on here, Peter.
Just prayed for you
@@goldandsilverfacts repent ! for your blasphmey towards ALMIGHTY CHRIST , what take a medication that will give you side effects in the long run only to take more medication . or like this doctor said it might take up to 40 differnent pills to get you the right one that works and then have side effects only to take more .
Every believer after accepting Christ is required to go through (in my time we were expected to read Neil Anderson's Freedom From Bondage ) a deliverance session, from all kinds of soul/generational ties to all kinds of spirits/demons, sometimes it may require a few sessions, depending on the need. Go to a church and ask if they have a ministry of deliverance and ask to have deliverance done on you.
For around 6-7 months i have those what if thoughts and i can't stop them. Thank you for this video. Also it shows me that a healthy lifestyle is important. Most likely i have my problems from the way i lived for years. I had no friends, i was just gaming and watching youtube, i was obese and eating really unhealthy. Also i had a lot of stress and no motivation. God gave me the fear of death, i was thinking that i have a heart attack. I lost 20kg in under 1 month and i started to go to church, read the bible and stopped gaming.
An advice for parents: Please teach your children a healthy lifestyle. Don't let you children or teens sit infront of their phone, tablet, pc, tv or playstation for hours. Also teach them to eat healthy and do sports. It's so important for young people to have good parents. I love my parents but they didn't really teach me/ helped me. I would never allow my children to sit the whole day infront of a pc.

Wow amazing. Praise the Lord ❤🙏
This is what works for any and all mental disorders, God. The pills do not work and come with additional problems. They are literally making a killing and yes, the pun was intended because it is true on both sides. I hope and pray this doctor comes to know the Truth and stops pushing pills on people. He even says he saw people healed immediately but then still pushes pills. The money they make is not the only reason that they want people drugged. Stay safe in the arms of our Father!
@@gwenboswell840 Karen here. You dont understand mental illness. They need meds to read the Bible, to get out of bed till they get healed over time.
I have to agree with this doc. I have had anxiety and a major depressive disorder that started at pubity. I was finally medically treated at 25. It was like night and day. It was so very worthwhile. I was so miserable even when I had every reason to be overjoyed. Praise our Lord Jesus and The Father for the medication. Yes God could heal me instantly if that is his sovereign will, but it’s his choice entirely. Thank you.

Do you know why it started at puberty? Was their some kind of situation that happened in your life then? Did you find the root issue of why you had this problem?
Nice to see a Dr that's aware of all 3.
This is such great info!
I’ve studied biblical and intercultural studies and I can see the spiritual side to this. Now as a clinical counseling student I’m learning more about the physical side to mental illness.
I would like to share my story in order to help anyone struggling as a Christian with mental health issues.
The doctor is 100% correct as I experienced this myself. I was one of those Christians who believed that everything mental was caused by spiritual things until I experienced a mild nervous breakdown after severe depression 2 years after my children were kidnapped. I did win them back because God gave me the full victory but it hit me 2 years later and it really scared me one day I was at work and I went to take a break in my car and laid my seat back and felt very strange and I sat back up and that was the beginning of my experience I started to feel fear for no reason out of nowhere and I had already been in a very deep depression for about 3 months and it was getting so bad that like the doctor said when you can't turn your thoughts off that's what was happening to me it was like I was hearing many voices in my head it was like listening to a thousand DJs on a radio station at the same time that's the best way I can describe it and it freaked me out. The same time I also began experiencing panic attacks which I've never had before or since.
Then I started to be fearful of going out in public or being around people or even at work going to our weekly meetings it was the most surreal bizarre thing. I was starting to experience Agoraphobia. And one time when I was driving to work I felt surreal I knew my body clearly was on this earth but I don't know if it was purely my mind or some of my spirit felt disconnected with my body but not 100% just a little and that was the most unnerving thing of all.
So I broke down and went to a psychiatrist very reluctantly and explained to him what had happened two years prior with the kidnapping of my children and at the end of the conversation he looked at me said well you are doing very well actually considering what you went through so what you're going through now is not uncommon after the trauma that you and your children experienced.
So he prescribed me Paxil which works on panic attacks. Again I have to mention I don't even like taking aspirin and I'm very much against taking medicine at all cost unless absolutely necessary I always try to holistic nutritional methods first before agreeing to take any kind of drugs. But this was affecting my job. And being the sole supporter of my children I could not afford to do that so I reluctantly agreed to take this medication and I have to tell you they said 25% people that go on antidepressants never finish because they can't get past the side effects and I can't tell you the dozen side effects were so unbearable and I went to work feeling those but once those side effects disappeared after about three weeks then it became manageable and it was very effective it did raise my serotonin which seemed completely depleted and at the three month mark I was doing great and I decided to stay on it three more months a total of six months and I cold turkey'd (disclaimer: Never cold turkey off of these types of drugs). That's how much I hate drugs even though this one helped me I just did not want to be dependent on it anymore since I felt great. I had some dizziness for about 3 days and that was it. I was off and I've never been on it since.
So I have learned to respect the mental health and medication aspect as a real and many times necessary and successful treatment option for many mental disorders because of my personal experience. And as my pastor at the time said when he was in the mission field in South America he shared a true story where he had a nervous breakdown he said he stepped in the shower looked down at his hands and he didn't know how he got in there and that was the beginning of his breakdown and he said it was due to the anxiety and stress of being overwhelmed with the work and the things that entailed his missionary work so he said yes it happens to even pastors it's called burnout. So tragedy, trauma, burnout, lack of sleep in combination with high anxiety for long durations of time absolutely has a detrimental impact on our mental health our physical health our emotional health and hopefully not on our spiritual health because that is the only thing that got me through was praying to God and I was praying literally Psalms 91.
So the medicine served its purpose for that time of my life. So this wonderful Doctor is extremely balanced I wish he was around back then he would have given me more comfort during that very challenging time in my life and I'm so glad to hear his story and look forward to reading his book.
And I want to give it to my daughter because unfortunately she has experienced a severe form of PTSD and was told that it was untreatable and it was a result of that kidnapping and 25 years later she's still suffering from the trauma of that kidnapping. She is now in her 15th year of counseling. Unfortunately that kidnapping the enemy used it to turn her away from God but I know she still believes in him deeply because she asks for prayer. So please pray for my daughter Danielle, that God would deliver her completely and heal her completely from the depression the anxiety the fear, the wrong thinking, suicidal thoughts and the PTSD.
Thank you all and God bless you! 💜🙏
All I can say is that I’m sorry you went through that because I’m currently going through the same thing. I was actually going to sleep and was saying my nightly prayer when all of a sudden, my mind felt like it was spinning and I didn’t feel like myself, so I jumped out of bed in a panic and had to walk around my apartment for a little while and ended up staying up for an additional 3 hours or so because I couldn’t go to sleep. It almost felt like I wasn’t “normal” anymore. That’s the way I described it to everyone. It also felt like I wasn’t part of my body anymore or everything felt surreal. Sorta just seemed like everything around me was “fake” but I knew it wasn’t. I’m 22 and never had the best like growing up. Grew up really, really poor and my mom was on drugs. I currently take care of my two little brothers and so does my sister. They are 13 and 6 and my sister is 24. But I think what started it all was I was stressed out about how it was becoming hard for me to find a job, I was stressed about the world, I was stressed over covid, I was stressed over the well-beings over my brothers, my mom, my sister, stressed over my future and anything else that could possibly effect me. I always knew growing up I had depression and anxiety issues, but always thought I could control them, but obviously not. But after that one episode, I was having panic attacks almost everyday. I had to move back to Louisiana and live with my sister for a little while because I couldn’t be kept alone and felt like I needed to be around family more than anything. I was too scared to drive by myself to the store. I had to sleep in the living room with the tv on because I needed background noise to make me feel safe, not alone. And then my dad made me go to the doctor to be put on medicine because my whole family saw what I was going through and even knew about the thoughts (bad thoughts) I was having. I got put on lexapro (or however you spell it) and it’s been working good on me. I don’t feel 100% back to my old self, but definitely nowhere near how I felt at the beginning of it. Thanks for coming to my tedtalk. I don’t have many people to talk to it about lol. It just feels good being put out there, whether someone reads it or not. Have a good day and god bless.
All I can say is be fearful of the the Lord and do His Will, because His Will is good and powerful. I’ve heard several times a Pastor that says that, if you feel fear for no reason at all, that means you’re been under attack by the demon called fear and you must tell that demon that it can’t harm you because you’re are a child of the one true God and it will go away eventually. I don’t no how it feels to go through all you guys went through, but I’ve had spiritual attacks too and I know it can be really scary. My advice for you is to read the Bible, listen to the gospels and to Christian music, and watch Christian movies coz that has helped me a lot. I recommend that you listen songs from For King and Country and Mercyme to start with.
You have a testimony there . And will pray for your lovely daughter. As God loves her so much , and he will never give up on her , or you . Amen .
Both my sons suffer. I’m a Christian and I believe in God and medicine.
Our 32 year old son is suffering too. He has a nightly or early morning routine of combatting his demons (he lives with my wife and I). He has also battled social anxiety problems since childhood, with medications then. As an adult he functions only in his spiritual world and is extremely reclusive. Have you made progress with your sons…if so, what seems to work? Our son is so immersed, that our questions on how to best help him are pushed aside because he feels we do not or would not understand. Worried about his health and life. Thanks for any response.
@Terry Parham since his problems started in childhood maybe u could ask him wh3ther u have contributed in a way his to mental state. Sometimes parents r too controlling and intervening with their children and that creates mental problems to them. Not s enting their their

May God continue to bless your ministry, Doctor. You are treating people in a wise and balanced way.
What a wonderful doctor!!! I will have to remember the "what if" method for determining the origin of my thoughts. I have a lot of experience with mental health. I was healed of severe depression, however I had other diagnosis that did not get healed that the Lord treated with psychiatric medicine. It has worked wonders. After refusing medication most of my life, I agreed to treatment and I have now been stable for six years. I am blessed with peace deep down in my heart, joy and contentment for the life God has given me.
Forever Forgiven, how did you get healed?
@@naomi8097 i cried out to God to take the depression away, I went to the front of the church, a lady put her hands on my head and prayed. She had a vision that the synapsis in my mind, which looked burnt out, became healthy and knit themselves back together. I haven't had depression since, and that was 9 years ago 🙂 There is power in Jesus name.
God is truly amazing.
I have been having weird thoughts all day, and I prayed that He'd help me coz He healed me not so long ago from anxiety and depression. Having these thoughts come back was disheartening to say the least, but I realize now that this one was actually spiritual. And this knowledge along with the verse mentioned (1 John 4:18) helped me rest assured that God is with me.
God bless you ❤
I as a Christian have thought a lot about this spiritual issues associated with mental illness. I get the physical issues and I know they exist. Will you please pray for my son who has schizophrenia....
Buy some crosses and put them in your sons room!
They ward of demonic spirits, I use them, they do work.
Talk about Jesus randomly to your son now and again, even just saying the name Jesus and get your sin to say Jesus is real and is my saviour.
A lot on mental illness is demonic oppression.
Schizophrenia may have a spiritual root or a physiological causes.
To eliminate all spiritual root causes of schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.
Go into another room, *say this out loud*
"I speak this toward my son (name), I command the spirit of (schizophrenia, paranoid, depression, OCD, etc name them) to Come Out of Him right now. Come out spirit of (schizophrenia, paranoid, depression, OCD, etc) in Jesus name. You have no authority in this household. Leave him now!! "
Just this pray as often as you feel needed. If your son's condition is of spiritual cause, you will begin to see results shortly. His symptoms will subside, gradually go away.
Hi Tamara, have you seen anything from Jerry Marzinsky? His work led me on the road to the lord Jesus saving me
Also make sure you hear you children s needs and not force them to comply to what you want. I see lots of parents doing that and it creates mental illnesses. I see parents not allowing children to run but letting them play on their tablet for 5 hours in a row. Do we even know what s balanced and in harmony with nature??
Read psalm 23 too him over and over.
Yes! Thank you for this video! I think the church too often lacks discernment and tries to squeeze everything into a spiritual problem when there is hope in the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit to minister to the individual appropriately in each of these areas (body, soul, and spirit)
I agree, well said
Adrenal fatigue/exhaustion cause depression too. All the scents/ phthalates that are being added to products drain our reserves and cause brain swelling, much like a concussion. Please use all unscented products for your health and well-being. God bless everyone.
Please pray for me, I am a believer struggling with depression. Johann from Cape Town, South Africa.
May the Holy Spirit guide you!
I suffer from Depression as well.
I drink my meds, cant afford therapy,I would go if I could. I fast and pray regularly for God to help in ways He knows He can. When my mood dips,I communicate it to those close to me,so they can be aware and support me.
I pray God delivers you from the hand of enemy,that He guides you in case of any possible open doors from past present sins,and may you be empowered for any spiritual warfare that you might be going through,in Jesus name,Amen.
Sometimes my brother our light is too bright for the devil and he wants to shut it off. Dont give up! Love from your fellow sister in Christ
GOD has healed me from depression, anxiety and panic attacks. The enemy still tries to give me fear but I take those thoughts captive bring it to the obedience of God. I pray, praise, worship, read the word and dwell in the secret place (spend alone time in God's presence and pray in the spirit- speaking in other tongues). He took me through a process. He helped me overcome my fears. He's still working in me.
Wow this was so so good I actually have agoraphobia and it's honestly horrible I have been through so much severe trauma from being abused molested at a very young age and just having constant trauma after trauma I'm on I look forward to the day where I feel like I can be myself and be OK The more I read my Bible the more better I feel I know God will heal me now I just barely learned about trauma healing recently and I have been on a path to try and heal myself
I hope you're better now ❤❤
This is good. Just what I need. I cannot shut my mind off and its affecting my sleep etc. Have asked Jesus for help but nothing yet. Am on Sertraline now. 11 days in. A lot of health anxiety. I have an addictive personality which I semi control. I have traumatic ptsd from Paramedic work too. I hope this medication works soon.Lord have mercy.
I just prayed for you. You are not alone. I am former law enforcement and understand about the mental health issues. I started buspirone 3weeks ago and hoping this will help. Exercise, medication, prayer, DAILY BIBLE READING, fasting, Christian fellowship etc are very helpful. I have found there is no quick one solution but the above have helped me in my struggles. Best wishes.
Psalms tend to help me a lot, listening them that is.
Instead of saying I have addictive personality, say to yourself I have strong willpower and I can control myself, I enjoy eating healthy and staying strong. Jesus.
@@HeartNDagger18 sure, fooling himself into believing something else will help him... This is a new age belief
@Stars dog, not new age belief, just wisdom.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Emotionally Free: A Prescription for Healing Body, Soul, and Spirit,
Dr. Grant Mullen
Thanks, I was looking for info about the book. Any idea about the website he mentioned?
It's available on Amazon. Either paperback or Kindle version if you have a Kindle or the Kindle app.
Sorry but I just can't agree that I "can't" control my anxious thoughts because of a physical issue. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength, and I HAVE overcome my mental health problems through Christ! I had absolutely crippling anxiety and panic that got so bad I eventually I couldn't sleep for more than an hour without waking up feeling extremely nauseous. Panic attacks would make me shake violently, sweat, feel extremely confused, and severely nauseous. I was frustrated for a long time by the idea that I "just didn't have enough faith" but honestly, believing is what healed me. It was when I tried to believe as hard as I could that not only God *could* protect me from panic attacks, but that he would - I repeated it desperately to myself until I believed it and was finally able to sleep without a panic attack. That was after my mom prayed for me. I also committed myself to reading the Psalms every day like my sanity depended on it, and it's the only thing that helps me keep the anxiety away. I no longer consider myself trapped in anxiety, and my years of nearly weekly panic attacks are done. I also sometimes get intrusive thoughts and disturbing images and I rebuke them in Jesus' name and praise Jesus and sing if I have to to make the demons flee, and they do, and the intrusive thoughts stop.
I just can't imagine why I would believe that I "need" medications that didn't even exist until recently. I understand the importance of medical treatment to heal physical issues but I don't like using language that makes it sound like it's the only option (especially since I have experienced faith healing from both ends, though I do not support relying soley on prayer when there are obvious ways to intervene with medical treatment) and I wouldn't look to medication as a first resort for mental health. I don't know what it's like for other people's experiences so I can only speak for myself, but I've struggled severely with mental health and have genuinely overcome it by believing and resting in God's words.
I'm not sure if I misunderstood anything he was saying and I don't want to invalidate anyone's experiences - I'm just very cautious of using the kind of language that makes it sound like we have no power without medications. The name of Jesus is so powerful - I think a lot of us are unaware of how much is possible through prayer, especially when we surrender and make sure to repent of any known sin. Derek Prince has powerful teachings on this and other spiritual realities, and deliverence. We can have a more active role than we often realize.
yes, there are also other medicinal herbal options to try first before these psychiatric meds which can be harmful long-term.
I feel like I went through spiritual warfare for the past three years, and now I am at peace with Jesus inside my "heart," God, my soul, and various ancestors' history. My symptoms have mostly disappeared. 99% because I started taking my faith seriously. It can be very challenging when we have an existential crisis and examine our moral compass, our communities, the authorities, the media, etc...around us. When we re-evaluate our career ambitions and reflect upon how we have been treated and treat others in relationships. Our realities are shaped by our experiences and those of those around us...more research is needed for many. The secular world has done a lot of damage, sometimes unintentionally and other times deliberately, to how we interact today. Also, being out in nature and being creative is key to recovery. We were born to use our hands.
What were your symptoms
My God you always answer. About an hour or two ago i just dealt with my Mom with this issue..Yes i have always seen it as demonic attacks never mental. Past trauma and its caused a whole lot of other attacks And im sitting here contemplating these in my head and seeking God and this popped up on my notifications .
Yes, I found out they are spiritual attacks too. I hope this doctor stops pushing pills and promotes God as he should. Isn't it amazing and comforting when God sends us something just when we need it!
It's definitely spiritual. Before I was diagnosed with psychotic disorder, I read a lot of new age and satanic things. I suspect I made my self vulnerable to the influences of demons and that's why I have psychosis now. It always starts with me replying thoughts and voices in my head, and then it just becomes worse and worse when they try to convince me my friends and family wants to kill me.
This is at the core of my struggles right now. Whether the anxiety and depression I had for 16 years is spiritual, physical, psychological or both. I can't tell you how many times i've wracked my brain trying to understand this. I am a black and white individual so that makes it twice as hard when you want to believe it''s either in one area or the other. This video was excellent in explaining and a God send. I just don't know what to believe anymore about any of this. I wish I could talk to this man for a whole day.
I am a Christian & am having these problems as well for many years. Dr’s have put me on so many difrnt meds through the last 20yrs & I know that didn’t help. I do believe some people have chemical inbalances & need medications but I also believe we HAVE to have Faith & truly believe God has our best interests at heart & no one could ever love us as much as God that sent His son to die for us! So I pray you put your trust & have faith God will bring you through this we just have to let Him in His time! May God bless & heal you!!!
The anxiety/depression that I suffered with for decades was this...Unforgiveness, fornication, dabbling in the occult. Once I renounced these things..no more mental illness!
@@marciebrehm9020 Meds never helped me at all. It was renouncing sin & rebellion that got me healed. Especially renouncing the occult.
Usually it s interrelated. Work on all three factors
@@marciebrehm9020 Thank you and God bless you!!
I wholeheartedly agree with this video. I try not to overspiritualize things. Therefore, I had to watch what I eat, took a sleep analysis study and journaled a lot and that has remedied a lot of anxiety and depression. Praise the LORD! 🙏🙏🙏
Brilliant video. Praise The Lord
Thank you so much for your help Dr Mullen. I had ad the opportunity to hear you many time , it is always so good to hear you more . I have been help by you
And I just want you to thank you so much and I still need you. May God bless ,
Thank you My brother in Christ ✝️🙏
Thank you for sharing this.
Wonderful interview with a great message! Please pray for my son who needs deliverance from depression anxiety fear intrusive thoughts outburst anger doubtful nature negative thoughts and feelings Please Lord Jesus Christ touch heal and bless my son with a normal life..though he is on medication and prayers he is still having trouble with confused thoughts..please pray and bless my son with God's grace love wisdom understanding prudence clarity in mind decision making and abundance of humbleness. Amen 🙏 🙏
Read psychology books on how to raise happy children. You become a happy mentally stable person and he will transform also
@bespiritfilled you Don t know how many Christians I v seen who raise their children wrong ly. They beat them to comply not knowing that makes them aggressive. They criticise them to correct them , not knowing that makes them cruel and judgmental. In the end you have cruel, judgmental , aggressive children and you blame it all on them. We should be thinking" how would Jesus raise children? How would Jesus deal with this? But we Don t think like that. True science is always aligned with God s truths. Nth wrong with reading psychology to know only with love and acceptance for your child ( healthy boundaries as well) can you have loving children
THANK YOU Dr. Mullen. God bless you.
Very grateful for this video. I was helped many years ago and I am now helping others. This is a and for me.
The hardest thing to learn is how to control our MIND. That's why scriptures tell us to be Transformed by the Renewing of our mind. Our FLESH (cravings etc) fights against Truth but it can be done through a God who helps is. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. !
So well balanced God bless you🙏
Thank you. ❤
Amen!!!!! Thank you for sharing the wisdom of God and being open to gain His wisdom in this area! God bless you sir and God bless this channel! Thank you for your ministry!! ❤❤❤
I have been in the ministry approaching 50 years have had my share of exercising deliverance. This is the most balanced, spiritual and logical approach I have encountered in those 50 years!!!!
Where did you find the deliverance?
@@christianokpoko4433 😊only one way to find deliverance, that is the Jesus the Christ.
@@christianokpoko4433pray and fast ask God to remove any spirit that isn’t of him in the name of Jesus Christ
I really love your teachings... they really inspires me alot
Thank you alot. This lesson alone has help me feel better of my fears. I believe God brought it my way to help my spiritual condition. Thank you once again.
Wow- this is wonderful information, this is what's needed in churches today- thank you for this🙏
God bless Doctors too!
WOW WOW WOW. This VIDEO IS ANSWERED PRAYER!
Thank you !! Exactly !! A physical
Hallelujah
I really needed this
Isaiah 9:6,FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN, UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN, AND THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDERS, AND HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNCILOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE.
Turn to The Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and let Him heal you. On the way to get pills from a psychiatrist in 1996,The Holy Spirit said inside me, "ALL YOU NEED IS ME, ALL YOU NEED IS ME, ALL YOU NEED IS ME." I said" I know, but I gotta do something!"
Before I was going to take my life sometime after that,not knowing it was the demons putting the thoughts in my head for 10 years that I didn't want to live, I was in my first 21 day fast, where I thought I was starving myself, but found out The Lord had me fasting,The Lord snapped His fingers and said "WAKE UP, YOU FOUGHT, YOU WON!"
That was 25 years ago and I have never thought about suicide since and won't.
I read my King James bible everyday, pray everyday and meditate on breakfast and bedtime snack scriptures, everyday. You can't cast demons out with pills.
Amen! 🙏🌹
I feel like when he says "chemical", it really means "hormones". I progressively omitted all true chemical agents from my daily living by stopping the use of all store bought soaps - hand, body, hair, dish, laundry,... etc., and I have noticed a HUGE difference in my moods and mind. I'm more leveled out with my moods, and thoughts, and my mind is more clear, and my memory has improved.
Get rid of the toxins from without, and aim to cleanse your body from within; so you can do the same with your spirit.
Really good and helpful words from both
Thank you for having the/this doctor on. Thank you for coming on the show doctor. This helped a lot. Thank you Lord, for bringing this video to my attention. Prayerfully this video will reach, teach, meet, and educate those that need it. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. And I pray that if the LORD lead me to share this info with someone/anyone, that they will receive what is being said in the way that the LORD intend them to, and understand what is being said at the appointed time. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. AMEN.
This lady is so lovely so soothing her voice
So grateful for God working through obedient and qualified individuals! As a training psychologist I think I need this book because I’ve frequently wondered where the lines are.
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. The Good News: While depression can make you feel lonely, God is still there with you. And he's not going anywhere.
Deuteronomy 31:8
I am happy to see that Christian doctors explains that (sometimes) there are interconnections between human diseases and spiritual baggages that affects a person or patient's health.
A very good talk with the doctor. Holisitic. The lady below, Kelly Smith is also correct - hormone imbalance is so important in women AND men - under medical supervision. An endocrinologist is one to see too. I could write my own book. Perfect Love casts out Fear !!! YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just out a walk and love connecting with nature - the trees, shrubs, animals - dogs etc. Loving and being grateful for them all. All Life is Life and connected. The Creation groans for our deliverance - awakening.
Wow
Finally I got answers for my loved one
Thank you for this video. I love this cause it explains the different kinds of problems with different causes. From a doctors point of view also.
I like this doctor, I remember him from Toronto revival... from Revival dvd's I did buy from Sid Roth TV Ministries 10 years ago... Blessed be & Shalom🙏🙌✨✨✨🇬🇧
I was never set free with the use of medication. I only got worse. I also went to counselling and had problems because I would talk about all of this stuff but I would never truly get better. My trust in Jesus Christ and talking to him has been the best so far. I know everyone has different experiences but this has been my experience.
Michelle, it sounds like you've been on quite a journey, trying different methods to find healing and peace. It's important to remember that while medication and counseling can be helpful for many, they don't work the same way for everyone. It's wonderful to hear that turning to Jesus and talking to Him has brought you comfort and improvement where other methods haven't.
In the Bible, Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus invites us to come to Him when we're weary and burdened, and He promises to give us rest. It sounds like you've found that rest in Him, and that's beautiful. Your trust in Jesus and the relationship you're building with Him can be a powerful source of healing and strength.
Keep talking to Jesus, keep trusting in His love for you, and remember that He's always there to listen and help. If you ever feel like you need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out to the 100 Huntley prayer line at 1-866-273-4444. Remember, you're not alone on this journey.
Please Keep Me in Your Prayers so that I May Find My Way Back to God. Thank You!
I found this explained a lot and also brought a balanced view. Thank you!
I come from a Muslim family. Whenever I used to say 'what if', my mom stopped me, saying this statement was from satan. This doctor is great and his patients are really lucky to have him.
Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life; no-one comes to God except through Me (John 14:6). Jesus wants you to to cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Only by repenting of sin and trusting in Jesus to guide your life are you spiritually safe for all eternity. I encourage you to prayerfully read The Holy Bible.
The video above, and the comments below, make for interesting reading.
And subject matter for prayers, too.
Brilliant
This is the best breakdown i have ever heard. I am a mother of a severe mental illness 33 year old son, i have seen self harm so severe he is blind in his right eye! Chronic illness from violence, his psychiatrist is horrible and doesnt want to participate in his treatment but give shots, experienced harm.. 12 years of horrific torture, life threats to me! This shory video is on point!
Dene, sorry to hear you've been through so much with you son. If there's ever a time you feel like you could use some personal prayer support, please call our prayer line, we’d like to pray with you over the phone. Our Prayer Line services 1-866-273-4444 are available toll-free 24/7.
Read psychology books, change your psychiatrist. God bless you. Your son must have had a very unhappy childhood to do that to himself. Why was that? You were there. Change yourself if you think you may have contributed and change in others can come as well.
It is better to hv FAITH in the Almighty, in Jesus, & rely on Him, than to rely on medication, thinking that is the answer. Scripture says, 'fear is a SPIRIT! As is anxiety.which is why we ALL need to learn what God's Word says about 'spiritual warfare. Which is the spiritual arrmour is mentioned. It is very clear in the Word.
I've found a good way to break the pattern of negative thoughts is to enjoy something good, true and/or beautiful.
Listen to Beethoven's 6th & 9th symphonies, anything by Palestrina, great movie themes, go out and remember to look up, stop to look at flowers, wave and smile at a toddler.
Whatever is good, whatever is beautiful... it's there for you.
Thank you for laying out the differences. Most churches aren't equipped with this knowledge. They think everything negative is spiritual attack.
I love the finish on this video

Finally after 20 years I hear it’s OK to take meds for anxiety disorder also I have severe insomnia . I had my son to take care of I could not just let myself die of stress!
I would rather take Unfortunately, Benzo‘s were the only thing that worked for me and they’re the most addictive but they gave me 20 more years to spend with my son because I was quickly dying from stress literally but I also believe God gave me strength to hold on. If you can avoid it don’t take benzo‘s unless it’s intermittently, Do not get addicted to them you can’t get off them they’re harder to get off than heroin! But I had antidepressants I tried so many different kinds and they’re too strong for me they made me sick deathly sick I just couldn’t take antidepressants I wasn’t really depressed I was just stressed there’s a difference.
“So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.”
- Romans 8:6
"Jesus didn't fear anything" - what happened when he was so stressed he sweat blood in garden of Gethsemane?
I literally can’t sleep without antipsychotic meds. I thank God for them because without them I’ll go 2 weeks with 0 sleep.
Here we are near the end! Make sure you're ready! Only by faith are you ready.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God.
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Jesus, God's Son set you free. He paid in pain and blood to pay for your sins and he did it for everyone!
You are set free! You are set free! We are surrounded by temporary yet we aren't temporary! The Devil wants you to forget this, he is a defeated foe!
John 3:15 That whosoever believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
You are loved by the king of the universe that lives forever and forever.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
By faith in him we are set free, washed clean and made righteous. He makes our filthy garments clean. Thank you Lord, You are worthy. I can never repay you. All glory to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
Even i am going through a phase of depression. Sometimes i feel life is useless
Its sad that some Believers think taking medicine is bad. For anyone being told not to take medication for your illness ignore those people, they may very well be sincere but are doing damage. Imagine someone who has severe depression who feels suicidal and someone telling or shaming them for taking meds. That medicine can help them not take their own life. People who shame or tell others not to take medicine need to REPENT
The Worry Capsule is quite effective. You write down anything that enters your mind that is disturbing and you refuse to think about it, then you set a time of day, say 7pm when you sit with your list of worries and force yourself to worry about what is on your list. You have a day of freedom to do fun things and when you try to worry for ten minutes you are using a different part of the brain and you can't worry. I tried it once and had a really good day.
For God has not given us the spirit of fear and timidity but of power of love and of sound mind.( 2 Tim.1:7)
You an me both , i woke up from new age an decided to follow jesus , i though i was following him 5years but it was new age as well i fastes to fine out if it was the truth well he did an said it was not him but every sence i found the truth my llife been livving hell , picking up addictions once i put them put down 3 years then pick back up once i started seeking him, i wish i had only i found bible an church , not what gone though....because it takes every dam smile you could have do not want get on medication but it may have to exhasted out already
Even though there are 40 different depression meds,
there is a blood test available through psychiatric medicine that will show your doctor which school of anti-depressive meds will work for you. I had this done and it saved time getting me finally on the correct medicine.
❤️Love to all❤️🙏🙏
Thank you so much THAT is amazingly helpful information
Is there a name for this test?
How are you doing now?
Thanks so much

Hello karen- What is this called? .. First time iv heard of this!? How does it work?
@@chazzabooom hey guys, I DONT remember what it was called but I had it done around 2 years ago after going through several meds with no help. Maybe insurance doesn’t cover it until you’ve already gone through the basics without results?

Perfect love will casts out fear
I had this and It ended bad over me going back to addiction feel very suicidal now
The physical part of fear comes from the fact that there's lots of crazy, evil people in the world.
I'm a Christian.. and has been tormented with a lack of Faith. I have GAD
Hey @kheirdo, thanks for opening up about what you're going through. Dealing with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) can make it really tough to hold onto your faith-when your mind is always buzzing with worries, it's hard to grab onto the peace that God wants to give you.
It’s totally okay to feel this way, and you're definitely not alone. The Bible reminds us to “cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). It might be helpful to talk about your feelings with a pastor or a trusted friend from church who can pray with you and support you spiritually.
Maybe try setting aside a bit of time each day to pray or read the Bible? Focusing on God’s promises can bring some peace. For instance, Philippians 4:6-7 tells us not to be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let our requests be made known to God.
If things get too heavy, remember our prayer line is just a call away at 1-866-273-4444. What do you think could help strengthen your faith during these challenging times?
Pray against intrusive thoughts, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. AMEN.
i agree with you cause i have anxiety depression adhd disorder and even if i pray and read the bible i need a treatment for my mental health it's like someone has physical desease he will be treated so it's the same for mental health, we have to be treated by a doctor it's important it's not only a matter of spiritual
This has been a question for many Christians including myself. Yes, we are body-soul-spirit and as such, our problems are associated with this makeup. Physical Spiritual and Personality issues. This is a major modification for the DSM-5 should they have the insight to factor this concept in.
My dad committed suicide and the church was horrible. When I told them I had bipolar. I was kicked out of the church
Find a new church. How dare they! Bipolar is just like md or sickle cell. It’s a disease. So terrible what some Christian’s have done to the ill
i pray for people that suffer from mental and physical disease
I suffer from GAD, the severe kind. Generalised Anxiety Disorder is a mental condition you are born with. Early life was not that disruptive, but after my 16th birthday, I started to have problems that nobody knew about, neither my parents nor me. My brother and I are identical twins. My brother suffers from GAD, but very mildly. I suffer more acutely because I had 3 major traumatic experiences in my life, which landed me in the psychiatric unit of a general hospital. I have been on medication for the last 20 years. I am single. I am now in the last part of my life. I know that God is caring for me because I see it daily. It's like I am on autopilot. I just wait to go to heaven; however, Jesus has other plans. One thing that kept me going on living is to offer my sufferings to Jesus - redemptive suffering; that helps a lot. The most important thing is to take the medications. My weight ballooned from 176lbs to 345lbs. I said enough. Pray for me.
It's clear you've navigated a difficult path, but your recognition of God's care in your life and your dedication to offering your sufferings to Jesus are powerful testaments to your faith.
Redemptive suffering, the idea of offering one's sufferings to God as a form of prayer for oneself and others, is a profound spiritual practice. It echoes the message of Colossians 1:24, where Paul speaks about rejoicing in his sufferings for the sake of the church, "completing what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church." This doesn't mean that Christ's sufferings were insufficient but rather that we, as members of His body, are invited to participate in the mystery of suffering as a way of sharing in His work of redemption.
Taking medication and acknowledging the need for it is a critical step in managing GAD, and it's commendable that you've taken control of your health in this way. Your bravery in facing these challenges and making tough decisions about your health shows great strength.
I will pray for you, for continued strength, peace, and the comforting presence of Jesus in your life. May you feel His love and guidance every day, and may your journey be a testimony to His grace and mercy.
If you ever need more support or someone to talk to, please remember that there are people ready to listen and help. You can always reach out to the 100 Huntley prayer line, toll-free, at 1-866-273-4444 for prayer and support.
Lord, please hold your child close to Your heart. Provide comfort, strength, and peace in the midst of anxiety. Guide the doctors and support systems in providing the best care. And let this journey be a witness to Your love and power. Amen.
