This Study was conducted by David H Rosmarin, McLean Hospital clinician and instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “Our work suggests that people with a moderate to high level of belief in a higher power do significantly better in short-term psychiatric treatment than those without, regardless of their religious affiliation.” Belief was associated with not only improved psychological wellbeing, but decreases in depression and intention to self-harm,” said Rosmarin.

The researchers observed and studied 159 patients over a span of 1 year to understand their belief in God and the outcome of such belief on their mental health. The study has been complied and published in the Journal of Affective Disorders wherein each subject (participant) was asked to express their belief in God along with the presumption of the treatment they were undergoing on a scale of 5 point.

Atleast 30% of the patients who had a strong or moderate belief in the almighty with no religious alliance consider betterment in the treatment, whereas patients who had a mild or no belief in God had a likeliness of not reciprocating to the treatment.

“Given the prevalence of religious belief in the United States – over 90 per cent of the population – these findings are important in that they highlight the clinical implications of spiritual life. I hope that this work will lead to larger studies and increased funding in order to help as many people mass possible,” Rosmarin said.

The researchers thus accomplish that,” Belief in God is associated with improved treatment outcomes in psychiatric care. More centrally, our results suggest that belief in the credibility of psychiatric treatment and increased expectations to gain from treatment might be mechanisms by which belief in God can impact treatment outcomes”.

Twenty adults (11 males and 9 females) participated in the study, which involved everyday dietary supplementation with 10 grams of freeze dried mango (equivalent to around 100 grams of fresh mango, according to Dr. Lucas) for 12 weeks.
