Spirituality helps healing

Spirituality means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Regardless of the differences I believe that any formalized religion can help people with psychological aspects of coping from a loss or dealing with physical health problems by building a sense of community. I also believe that informal or private spirituality can help people both mentally and physically deal with illness. Many patients want and expect their healthcare providers to be aware of the importance of spirituality in their lives and how they believe that spirituality can help them manage psychological pains (D’Souza, 2002). I believe we will see more spirituality incorporated into the healthcare field in the future.

D’Souza, R. (2002). Do patients expect psychiatrists to be interested in spiritual issues? Australasian Psychiatry, 10(1).
