Question 10

Accepted Answer

There isn't a: syndrome that results from spiritual health neglect.   However, the healthiest people are those who have a balance between spiritual experiences, and mental, emotional and physical experiences.   Some of this comes from maturity, some from family-of-origin values, some from training (health workshops), etc.   Go to a minister, then to a psychologist, then a fitness trainer.   Shop around.
