— Many people draw on spiritual beliefs, practices, and communities as sources of meaning, resilience, and connection. Mental health care increasingly recognizes that spirituality — understood broadly as how people find purpose, belonging, and transcendence — can interact with psychological well‑being. When integrated respectfully and ethically, attention to spiritual life can enhance assessment, deepen treatment, and help people unlock personal potential. This interview introduces key ideas, evidence, practical approaches, and cautions for clinicians, caregivers, and anyone curious about the intersection of mental health and spirituality.
