Prayer Works but I Need a Prescription: A personal journey through discovery, awareness, and managem

From the scars of childhood trauma to adult heartbreak, from the weight of inadequacy to the challenges of motherhood, Shanta Washington is on the brink of a breakdown. Amidst the darkness, she clings to a glimmer a hope, a belief that God's hand will guide her through the storm.

But when her mental health reaches a breaking point, Shanta is forced to confront a harsh reality: prayer alone may not be enough. As she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and forgiveness, Shanta learns that sometimes healing requires more than faith-it demands courage, vulnerability, and the willingness to seek help.

In this raw and humorous reflection, Shanta bares her soul, sharing the ugly truths of her struggle with mental health. Through her story, readers are invited to witness the messy, imperfect journey of self-actualization-a journey filled with setbacks, doubts, and painful revelations. This memoir is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of Prayer and Prescriptions in the face of darkness.
