The Bible, the Conscience and mental illness ... question that sin can cause mental illness. It is not the sin itself, but the corresponding guilt that is associated with the sin. The incidence of guilt causing sin is higher among Christians than non-Christians because non-Christians don't get a bad feeling when they sin because they don't view them as sins. When a Christian lives a secret sinful life, the conscience kicks in with bad feelings. The resultant cognitive dissonance is powerful enough to tear the mind into pieces. Behaviors like delusion, paranoia, schizophrenia are common. The only cure for mental illnesses caused by guilt is repentance. Confess your sin and change your life and your mental health will be restored. Don't waste your time on counseling... unless it is the council of God!
