Espiritualidade no tratamento da Ansiedade/Depressão

Abstract

One of humanity's greatest challenges is dealing with psychological disorders. Depression and anxiety, considered the evil of the century, have been claiming more and more lives, information indicates that two thirds of people with these disorders do not undergo treatment, and two out of ten cases become chronic, the majority of patients not being treated against themselves at least once in their life and, of these, a part will succeed. For each case, different treatments are possible and religiosity has stood out as an important tool in the recovery and improvement of quality of life, faith and religious practice combined with clinical treatment represent more forceful actions in coping with suffering, as a source of hope for a cure and as a resignification of the meaning of life and death. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a concept about each of these disorders or diseases in order to promote the best clinical treatment and application of religiosity and practices of faith in order to preserve the best quality of life.
