I have a question regarding taking psychostimulants, so
if I take, it's a weird question, if
I take medication for my ADHD, would that
lessen my tawakkul and rabbina, by not like
increasing my faith and doing more to like
better my mental on my own?
This is actually not an easy question to
answer, because this depends entirely on your mental
state and your medical requirements and needs.
Some people, unfortunately, don't require such medications, but
due to the fact that a lot of
the psychiatrists tend in the West, in non
-Muslim countries, due to their education, due to
their disbelief in Allah Azza wa Jal, tend
to prescribe such medications, even when people don't
actually need them, because according to what they've
studied, everybody needs them.
And they, to them, nine out of ten
have some sort of a mental illness, and
they need therapy, and they need to go
to a shrink, and they need to have
antidepressants, and the whole nine yards.
This is their business.
Now I'm not doubting their credibility, I'm just
doubting whether this is needed or not.
When you say that one out of four
are autistic, this is not possible.
Anything can be autistic, anything can be a
mental illness.
So people nowadays are addicted to such drugs
and antidepressants and going to the psychiatrist to
fix something they think is busted when it's
not busted.
So I cannot tell you what is possible
or not before being diagnosed, before we speak
to you, before we know exactly what kind
of mental illness you have, is it something
related to whispers, to OCD that can be
cured in a few minutes sometimes.
Just you need someone to talk to you
and to open your eyes and to show
you how Satan is messing up with your
head.
And 95, 98 percent, Alhamdulillah, it's all resolved
and solved.
Sometimes no.
Now, there is a mental illness that requires
attention, and this is why we advise people
to go to a Muslim, a practicing Muslim
psychiatrist who fears Allah, knows Islam, and can
diagnose you correctly, bithnillah azawajal.
