Alma 15

Zeezrom, one who had been antagonistic towards the church, realized his great sins and they weighed upon his mind. Alma 15:3 reads:

"And also Zeezrom lay sick at Sidom, with a burning fever, which was caused by the great tribulations of his mind on account of his wickedness, for he supposed that Alma and Amulek were no more; and he supposed that they had been slain because of his iniquity. And this great sin, and his many other sins, did harrow up his mind until it did become exceedingly sore, having no deliverance; therefore he began to be scorched with a burning heat."

I'm majoring in Marriage and Family Studies. Many people who major in this go on to become counselors for families and individuals. We know that there are cases where people should find a physician to help them with their illness, but other times they must find a psychiatrist to help with the illnesses of the mind. But our bishops and stake presidents are to help us with the illness of the spirit.

Boyd K. Packer said:

“There is another part of us, not so tangible, but quite as real as our physical body. This intangible part of us is described as mind, emotion, intellect, temperament, and many other things. Very seldom is it described as spiritual.
“But there is a spirit in man; to ignore it is to ignore reality. There are spiritual disorders, too, and spiritual diseases that can cause intense suffering.
“The body and the spirit of man are bound together. Often, very often, when there are disorders, it is very difficult to tell which is which” ("The Balm of Gilead").
