“…A large evidence base has revealed multiple pathways by which spirituality 1 can support flourishing and recovery from depressive disorders and other mental health conditions (for review, see Koenig et al, 2023). For example, beliefs, practices, relationships, and other aspects of a patient's spirituality can shape their meaning framework in ways that promote healthy coping and a sense of comprehensibility, coherence, and purpose in times of psychological suffering (George & Park, 2016;Park, 2013).…”

“…For example, religious individuals have a lower risk of mortality than non-religious individuals (Powell et al, 2003), and religion appears to lower risk for a wide range of physical health problems (Ellison & Levin, 1998). There also appears to be several benefits of religion for mental health; religious individuals often report higher levels of well-being and lower levels of mental health symptoms such as depression and anxiety (Peteet, 2022). Various mechanisms have been proposed for the religion-health link (Ellison & Levin, 1998), such as the regulation of individual lifestyles and behaviors (McCullough & Willoughby, 2009), social integration and support (Ellison & George, 1994), meaning in life (Steger & Frazier, 2005), and religious/spiritual coping (Pargament et al, 1998).…”
