Patron Saints for World Mental Health Day
Today is reserved for, among many other things, World Mental Health Day. Raising mental health awareness is vital to helping to understand and accept the challenges we face internally.
Here are four patron saints I've picked to share that represent common mental health challenges that you can pursue intercession with!
✧ St. Dymphna, patron saint of mental health (nervous and mental afflictions), who experienced intense trauma herself in her lifetime
✧ St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, patron saint of stress relief
✧ St. Jude Thaddeus, patron saint of lost causes and desperate situations
✧ St. Christina the Astonishing, patron saint of mental illness who experienced a profound return from death after experiencing a seizure
