It’s such an honor to write for [*Plough* Quarterly](https://www.plough.com/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com), one of the best out there. They’re putting out great stuff, and [this latest issue on “The Soul of Medicine”](https://www.plough.com/en/subscriptions/quarterly/2018/summer-2018-issue-17?ref=mereorthodoxy.com) is no exception. They have [a piece from me](https://www.plough.com/en/topics/justice/social-justice/the-medicated-soul?ref=mereorthodoxy.com) about mental health disparities, the insufficiency of formal psychiatric care, the spiritual discipline of taking psychiatric medications, and how the wounded in the church serve one another. I hope you enjoy it!
