Faith and Mental Health: A Journey Through Islamic History

So if I took away alcohol and drugs, I knew I had to replace it with something else, and it had to be god. I had to put something positive in its place so that there's not a gap, and a lot of times we might abstain from doing something or we might change behavior, but shortly after we have to go back to that behavior because we have not put something in its place to feed off of.
What happens when faith and mental health intersect? In this episode of 'Mental Health Monday', Michelle Renee Davis, also known as Every1 Favorite Therapist, hosts an enlightening conversation with three Muslim sisters. They dive into the history of mental health within the Muslim community, drawing on references from the Quran and Sunnah. How has faith shaped mental well-being over the years? What role does community support play in tackling mental health stigma?
These are just a few of the questions explored in this rich discussion. The episode doesn't shy away from the tough topics, addressing the stigmatization of mental health issues in Muslim communities. It also emphasizes the importance of replacing negative behaviors with positive ones, with faith acting as a guiding light. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the nuanced relationship between mental health and Islamic faith.
