Mental health and religion have a long history of being intertwined together. Ancient peoples believed that mental health disorders were caused by demon possession or divine punishment. The perspective began to change around 400 BC, when Greek physician Hippocrates treated mental health issues as physiological illnesses. But, many centuries and scientific discoveries later, those ancient religious beliefs continue to persist, affecting how we perceive mental health and perceive those who face emotional hardships today.
