About this episode

David Roylance discusses the modern mental health discipline in relation to the teachings of Gotama Buddha and shares his personal journey with mental illness.

(Group Learning Program) - Chapter 22 - Mental Health: A Modern Day Delusion at Wat Tung Yu The modern mental health discipline has only been in existence for a relatively short period of time compared to the length of time these Teachings have existed in the world. Considering the entire span of time that Gotama Buddha’s Teachings have existed, over 2,500 years, the short timeframe of knowledge developed in the field of mental health is highly unfounded, unproven, and untested. In this Podcast, David will share his personal story about the 24 years he spent searching for answers to depression, bipolar, anxiety, and other symptoms classified as "mental illness" and how he found the answers to the elimination of all discontent feelings in The Teachings of The Buddha. ——- Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The Buddha Dedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment. https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com (See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)
