Do mental health diagnoses help or hinder your journey? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Strong Tower Mental Health', Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Heidi Mortenson dives into this complex question. Heidi unpacks how labels can sometimes trap us, making us feel defined by our diagnosis rather than seeing it as a step towards healing. She discusses the tension between relying too heavily on medical labels and ignoring symptoms in the name of faith.
