Does anyone have any spreads for examining mental health in detail?

What do you need a spread for?

I guess I just find spreads awkward and limiting when you have a whole deck to play with.

Ask your question, shuffle, and read the entire deck in groups of three cards at a time.

See what you come up with. Let the deck open up to you like a book.

And pay attention to the shadow side's three cards each time you ask a question.

Hope this helps you.

Sorry to her that Ambience, I suffer myself! there is not too many health spreads because of the ethical considerations. Don't use it as an excuse to not see a professional, it's not a replacement for that! :) But I have found them helpful for myself and exploring about it.

Here is some spread suggestions for you. 'mental health' is a big umbrella and they are mostly about anxiety on here, but some ideas and some of my fave spreads on here...

the tarot spread index on here is a great browse - http://tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=31867
it has an area of health spread which includes anxiety spreads - http://tarotforum.net/showpost.php?p=600962&postcount=4 (also fear spreads on that same page)

some others...

love this spread! it's basically what can I do more of? what can I do less of? what could I try out? (new element). some people do it daily when bad! it's 3 cards and easy!

light at the end of the tunnel - http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?p=2168212
this cheers me up when things seem bad! there is two variations of it. it's a positive spread of the glimmer of light that is coming

finally a general health problems spread - http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=10823

hope they help, if not make your own just like agent199 suggested! :)
