The connection between mental disorders and faith is an interesting one. My guess is they are implying that due to a traumatic event a person suddenly loses their faith and their faithlessness remains such for a long period of time. There is also cause for concern when a person has a sudden spike in their faith and starts becoming hyper-religious - which tends to happen to those suffering from psychosis-inducing disorders (which can be PTSD, apparently, so I wonder why this is not mentioned).
But of course, there is a lot of "FAITH IS GOOD FOR YOU" around therapy circles. I don't miss that shit. Ultimately, it's pretty fucking stupid to try to solve problems using faith.
