Religion and mental health are two entirely separate and unrelated topics, right? Not so, says some of the scientific research. In this talk Fr. Nicholas Monco explains the connection between personal traumas, painful questions, and religious practice based on his own experience helping young people.  He then lays a few simple steps to begin exploring how pursuing religion seriously can help your own mental health.
