Battle of the Mind: Torah-based Words of Encouragement and Inspiration for Those Battling Mental Illness

In today’s day and age, the amount of people suffering from mental illness is staggering. If you or a loved one are one of the many afflicted by this nisayon, and you are looking for Torah-based chizuk to help you on your journey, then this book is for you.

Written in a clear, approachable way, Battle of the Mind offers both validation and alternative perspectives, all culled from the Torah, for many of the logical and emotional concerns that surround emotional challenges. Questions such as “Why me?” and thoughts of “I’m inferior” and “I am so alone” are addressed in a sensitive and positive way, providing much-needed support, inspiration, and clarity for those engaged in their own battles of the mind. Additional chapters address concerns voiced by spouses and parents of those struggling with these challenges, with practical guidance sprinkled throughout.

Like a soothing balm to a painful wound, this book seeks to uplift and encourage those who may feel hopeless and lost in the oftentimes dark, confusing world that is mental illness. Truly a groundbreaking work in Jewish literature!
