In the U.S., kids underage experience a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, or substance abuse. Yet nearly half do not receive any treatment.
Children and teenagers can struggle with mental health issues just the same as adults. In the 10 years leading up to the pandemic, feelings of persistent sadness and hopelessness—as well as suicidal thoughts and behaviors—increased by about 40% among young people.

Psychologists were also behind new mental health recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a group of volunteer health professionals who evaluate evidence on various preventive health services. The task force now recommends regular anxiety screenings for youth ages 8 to 18 and regular depression screenings for adolescents ages 12 to 18. More must be done!

This relatively new concept popularized in the early 2000's and first originated in the New Age Movement System. In scripture it is a deep spiritual, emotional and relational bond between two individuals. Good spirits do not attach themselves to evil spirits. Nor can an evil spirit attach itself to the Holy spirit. You cannot attach your spirit to someone else's. You can, however, be influenced by someone else's spirit if you open the portal to darkness by attaching to negativity and demonic spirits.

Soul ties are emotional bonds that form an attachment. They may be Godly or ungodly, pure or demonic. Contrary to what is commonly believed soul ties are not always links between individuals, these ties can form an ungodly attachment with people, places, or things. That's right! People can be overly attached to pets, possessions (stuff), or anything else imaginable...'you are a slave to whatever controls you'. II Peter 2:19

Believers are encouraged to trust in God, and Him only to bring peace, and restoration to the soul. Explore some scriptural verses as Christ sets the example to abiding in the right spirit and shun the evil. We are created to need an intimate relationship with God and each other, not with the spirit of darkness and evil.
