I've been doing some reading on miasma lately, and I was just wondering if there are any Hellenists on how do they feel about miasma in relation to mental illness and chronic illness in general. I found one article about it but was it focused on how if one works with the ill how it affects you, rather than if you are ill yourself.
I'm mentally ill (depression and anxiety) and it's been pretty severe for a long time now; would it be pointless for me to even try and approach a Hellenic deity?
Would ritual purification that get rid of the miasma from my illness? If it does, would I have to cleanse myself several times a day to keep "pure"?
