Religion and Mental Health Effects on Well Being and Behavior
A survey led by Allen Bergin reviews research on religion and mental health noting little evidence that religious involvement prevents major mental illnesses. It finds religion links to well being, satisfaction, and marital stability, and that church attendance relates to marriage duration and family happiness. It also reports higher sexual satisfaction among religious individuals versus nonreligious groups.

A study notes women benefit from religious commitment against low sexual satisfaction, and religious families report lower stress. Intrinsic faith correlates with greater self control, empathy, and mental health while external conformity shows fewer positive effects. Val Farmer, a Rapid City psychologist, anchors the analysis.
