Finding joy in the gospel of Jesus Christ while balancing mental health challenges can sometimes feel impossible. Forces that are difficult to control can prevent us from feeling the influence of the Holy Ghost, perhaps making us question why we keep trying.

Although the Lord has not revealed all the answers to our heartfelt pleadings, He has provided guidance, counsel, comfort, and hope through His prophets and apostles and other Church leaders.

The article “Questions and Answers about Mental Health” from the YA Weekly section of the September 2025 issue of the Liahona gives inspired answers to 11 questions about mental health.
