-What are the dangers of self-diagnosis and listening to what is said about mental health on social media? 
-How would you encourage someone who is having an identity crisis because of their mental health issues? 
-How do you, as a friend or family member, support your loved ones who are experiencing depression/mental health issues? 
-Are you doubting God or lacking in faith by taking medication? 
-How can mental health affect your walk with the Lord?
