Yes. Mental health without a spiritual backbone is a form of self-deception, and at length the seeming peace will be turned upside down, and the inner battle will begin.

The individual makes the decision about what is important to her or himself--one size does not fit all. Also, one changes as one grows. So, a religion or philosophy that really speaks to you when you're 20 may not when you're 45. My suggestion is to be open to learn and adopt those ideals that work well in your life and bring joy to you and others. We all carve paths to peace and will likely find others along the way that are carving similar paths, but no two paths are exactly alike. All the best to you.

It IS mental health and the daily discipline you use to treat your self. As we wish there is no end to the time for life, there is no end to the duty for it. My duty is my right and my right is my duty. My Will is positive and my Judgment is negative. They are organs of my mind spirit. The Judgment as servant to the Will serves best there. My Will as subsumed in Judgment is evil because that would be the final consumption of positivity for and of the Spirit. In that condition everything becomes a mediated pretense but for the actions of the Judgment alone, infinite negativity equals infinite destruction.

Most assuredly! We are spiritual beings in a physical body and we need the peace, contentment and wisdom that comes from being connected to the One who created us, loves us and is watching over us at all times. When we are spiritually fulfilled we understand that there is nothing to worry about because we are merely sojourners in this world and "the best is yet to come". No matter what comes into our lives we will always have HOPE.

No. In fact, spiritual fullfilment can lead to madness.

It certainly seems to be for some. Everyone has different makeups though, so for some it's important to their mental health, for others it's not even an issue.

As a wise billboard once said, "My shopping cart was full but my heart was empty"
I had a job that paid amazingly well. I grew to hate it. I swallowed my pride and stayed for five years. I hated the job more and more each day. And it grew to hate me more and more each day. I was eventually fired as my pride of work was becoming less and less and my conduct became more and more unprofessional. As a result, me staying around for money, caused my longest reference to turn on me. Now, I'm out of the job I hated but can't find a new job as this job, a job I had for longer than any other job I've ever had, only knows me as a jerk.
Follow your heart and leave on good terms. Don't wait until it's too late and you burn a bridge.

No. mental fulfillment is necessary to mental health. Spiritual fulfillment refers to the emotions.

Yes. Knowing that someone great is supporting you will bring you a lot of confidence, increasing your positive mental energy.

Not necessarily. I don't believe in a God at all yet I feel good about life. The biggest key in life is to get to point where you can have unconditional self acceptance. I accept myself for who I am. All my strengths and weaknesses.
