This is a literature review based on scholarly articles/books and it would be helpful if certain findings were included in diagrams like graphs and tables. I want to explore things like how some articles use spirituality and religion interchangeably (how the definitions are blurred) or some use one of the words. Maybe this will help come with separate definitions for both. I want to explore the mechanisms behind how spirituality and religion positively impact recovery from mental illnesses. Like why does it work and what factors help. I want to explore the kind of data that is presented in these articles/books – it’s probably mostly quantitative as opposed to qualitative. and discuss why that is the case. you can also explore how it’s mainly christian based. Include many other findings that you can find in each article in terms of number of studies done and the kind of studies that are being done.
