Abstract

The article discusses the health benefits and ethical aspects of spirituality in psychiatric consultation. Spirituality has been discovered to be linked with feelings of hope, lower levels of depression, and enhanced social interaction, health, and quality of life. Psychiatrists, nonetheless, frequently underestimate the significance of their patients' spiritual experiences and beliefs.
