When should an LDS missionary stick to a quest, despite mental health challenges? When should they go home early? Spiritual progress is more accelerated and extreme on a quest than in regular life. While a quest is a deeply rewarding experience, it can even be difficult. L. Marlene Payne, MD, has been a psychiatrist for over 40 years, focusing on child and adolescent psychiatry. She's treated many LDS missionaries over the years. Dr. Payne received the best award given by the American Psychiatric Association, the Distinguished Life Fellow, for her years of service to the city. In this booklet Dr. Marlene Payne provides a guide to mental health for missionaries, their own families, church leaders and therapists. Through private case studies and personal interviews with quest presidents and delivered missionaries, she addresses the most typical psychiatric disorders, their definition, course, and treatment, including: bipolar disorder, despair, anxiousness disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, body dysmorphic disorder and Asperger's syndrome. Dr. Payne also advises ecclesiastical leaders and ward users about how they can best help whenever a missionary comes home early. But most importantly, she offers valuable advice about how a missionary can stick to and complete an effective mission.
