Psychiatrist and theologian Manfred Lütz argues in his new book that not every crisis or sadness is a mental illness. He warns against pathologizing normal human weaknesses and suggests that religion can provide orientation. Lütz uses the example of Saint Francis of Assisi, questioning whether his hearing voices might have been considered schizophrenia today, but argues that his abilities were not a disease. He advocates for finding fulfillment through meaningful actions and social connections, emphasizing the importance of the Christian faith in providing a sense of purpose beyond mere practicality.
