Case: Mrs. Vargas has been married for three (3) years to an alcoholic, violent, and manipulative husband who has a child with his mistress. Her unstable mental health is evident as she has severe anxiety, episodic depression and suicidal thoughts, and constant emotional breakdowns linked to their marital problem. The thought of her husband finding a more suitable partner often comes into her mind and causes paranoia, which worsens her case. She sought professional help for her mental health. She went to Dr. Zamora, a clinical psychologist. Mrs. Vargas is deeply religious and believes in the sanctity of marriage. The conflict is between her religion and her mental health. Will Mrs. Vargas choose to be religious, to believe in the sanctity of marriage, and to stay with her abusive husband? Or will she choose her mental health over her marriage and be free of emotional distress? QUESTION: Given that Mrs. Vargas is deeply religious and believes in the sanctity of marriage, what is the possible "right alternative" she should consider to handle her current situation?
