Mental Health Matters
How to be emotionally healthy? – Haleh Banani
When you are in the midst of chaos and things are falling apart around you, how do you remain emotionally healthy? How do you keep it together? That's what I'm going to share with you today. What Is Healthy Positivity? Many people think that being positive means...
Depression is a difficult issue. Mental Health is a situation beyond religion !
ps. Even kids (perhaps Muslim) without ‘good education’ are susceptible. Everyone needs to be understood.
So sad, l hope we never go through this
Yvonne Court l hope as a family we never go though this, and yes we do have depression in our family but pray it doesn’t go this far

Inni.laila rajoon
SubhanAllah mental health is so important! Really appreciate this!
JazakAllah Khair for this important reminder
Psycotropic drugs for depression is not a solution..they often are the cause of the mayhem which occurs.
Depression comes from satanic whisperings of fear, failure and hopelessness.
Quran is the cure…you will not find a better one.
But because its free, its disparaged or outright dismissed.
Sadly, often recreational drugs like weed and mushrooms can elicit paranoia leading to murder.
There is proof from Allah that any substance which alters the mind..khamr..is haram.
Yet few will take heed.

Thank you so much for addressing this. Well said Mashallah.

This is true we should help each other and help seek if they needed
No this is not depression!! Don’t do that. This is frustration. It’s different ball game.
Thank you fore this word . Is sad
It is reported that a Dallas teen named Farhan Tawhid and his brother murdered his mom, dad, grandmother, and sister, then committed suicide.
In the suicide note, the alleged killer explains his reasoning for committing such acts.
He says he was depressed for much of his teenage years. He didn’t feel like anyone cared. He didn’t like how a popular TV show (The Office) ended.
He argues: The purpose of life is happiness. Therefore, if I am not happy, I should just kill myself. But that will increase the sadness of my family who will mourn my death. Therefore, I will help them by killing them as well. In fact, that is the only logical path given that the purpose of life is happiness. If happiness decreases, there is no point in living.
This is pure utilitarian reasoning. It is the product of a hyper analytic mind that is developed through modern secular education more generally.
This is among the many reasons atheism and secular psychology are so anti-human and ultimately immoral, despite atheists and secularists claiming to be “humanists” and highly moral. Their twisted reasoning about happiness logically leads to unspeakable crimes. This fact is evidence of how false their “rational” beliefs are.
This consequence of secular atheism is discussed at length in our recent Genius of Islam video: Dark Truths About the Atheist Mind (Link in comments).
__________________
Some misguided and misguiding Muslim figures are going to use this reported killing to push the importance of mental health services and psychology more generally. They are going to say that this event shows how real of a problem depression is and it is wrong to diagnose a depressed person as having a lack of iman, and it is wrong for imams to recommend prayer and aqidah and taqwa and `ibadah as a cure for depression. These imams should “know their role” and leave these issues to the mental health professionals.
But the reality is, this alleged killer *was* seeking professional psychological help. He describes it in detail in his suicide note. He says he has been in counseling and on prescription pills for years but it did not help him and in fact it made him more depressed and frustrated.
Yet, the note makes no mention of Islam, iman, Quran, Sunnah, nothing. It seems that `ibadah and iman were exactly what he needed.
I am not denying that depression can be a big mental problem that needs to be addressed with compassion.
BUT why would we assume that secular psychology or “islamicized” secular psychology would provide any answers or solutions to the problem?
The problem is precisely the secular understanding of the human being at the core of a modernist worldview that is presumed by modern psychology and its cheap “islamic” iterations that are peddled nowadays.
It is precisely the modern secular dystopia that is responsible for so much of the depression people suffer. But some want to tell us that the poison is also the cure. How strange!
May Allah protect us and our families with the shield of iman and guidance.
yazakiAllahukhair for the advice.
Jazakallahu khairan sister Haleh. Very important message for us.
It’s really sad
Inna lillaahi wainnaa ilaahi rajioun
Depression is the worst disease ever ..but everyone ignores it or doest give so much focus on it but its taking millions of souls away ..wellahi the best medicine for depression is our religious believe ..we must stick to our religion we shall have more connection with our creator ..thank u haleh for addressing these issue we beg you on the name of Allah to work on this issue
Jazakum Allah kheir Haleh…great addressing of the topic…
Jazakum Allah Khairan dear Haleh. May Allah have mercy on them. So sad.
So true!
Thank you SO much for raising voice on all this. Mental health is completely ignored when physical illness is taken so seriously.
Please keep raising awareness. In east mental health is not acknowledged AT ALL.
You are saying everything right. This is exactly how it is.
Can depression be cured or you just have to manage it so that it doesn’t relapse?
It’s heartbreaking. I went through severe depression and suffered from it over a year. At that time I didn’t know what was going on with me and I was getting even worse. I reached the point where I started to have suicidal thoughts. Alhamdulelah when I realised that I was suffering from OCD, generalized anxiety and depression, I stood up for myself and sought medical help. Now I have fully recovered from it and I feel grateful for Allah who has given me another chance to live and take care my children and family.

Please watch… such a wake up call
I see this all the time and it can be scary how hidden this can be
Please sit down with all your kids and have a heart to heart on how they feel and what their needs are and if they feel sad or depressed or anxious
This is so so important
Lina Alam this made me.cry. I am a social service worker and I see this all around me. It’s a hush hush matter in our community but the stigma has to go. I have experienced the downside first hand and this is a serious matter. Thank you lina. Sharing it. I still have tears as I do….
Inna lillahe wa inna ilaihe rajiun … really really sad … soooo true… getting help, getting treated is so important for mental health!
Inna lillahi wainna ilaihi rajioon
Most people don’t know the person itself doesn’t want to have depression or any just don’t know or have access to cope it
Spog Ashrat
I have never seen your face sad like this subhan Allah you are truly sad
Please read the letter from one of the boy before he shot himself. They were under enormous depression since 2016.
Very grateful to you and again thank you for talking about mental health. It is more important than physical health than anything
Thank you for raising awareness
Jazaki Allah Khairan dear Haleh
JKH sister, you right we are missing this big time!!
I am glad you are discussing on this topic.. it is so much important to talk about mental health openly and we have to understand it is not a taboo it is just an illness like physical illness.. I still can’t get over the news about Dallas family
True people don’t understand mental health is as important as physical. Very sad plus people specially our community look down on them. If they have cancer or heart attack they get much sympathy than people who are mentally sickness.
Ya’Allah Ar’Rahmanu Ar’Raheemu. This news is so soo sad listening about this incident. It’s heartbreaking.
One brother was older the other was younger and had a twin sister
So true, it is a wake up call.
May Allah make it easy on all those kids who are suffering mental health issues.
Thanking for discussing this eye opening topic.
Inna lilahi wa inna alayhi rajioon Ya Allah
People need to understand that depression is a disease like if any part of body is hurting we are looking treatment so do with the depression need to take a disease which need treatment
Very well said. Our community needs more awareness on mental health. It’s not a taboo. Please seek help
Very sadthanks for an eye opening talk
Very sad incident
There is a very thin line
Many are ashamed to seek help
Religious foundation is very very important. I am not talking about being extreme. Faith is the only Saviour, start early and
Assalamu Alaikum. My dear Sister can you do an extra session dealing with signs of depressions and places where one can go to seek help. Thank you
Absolutely grateful to you for addressing this matter and for spreading awareness
Yes we do, mental health is a pandemic in itself
Mental health can affect anyone at any time in their lives. We’re all part of this
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE – Islam advocates.
Very very sad . What had to happen happened please young parents give some constant reminders. of religious values to your kids from their childhood. They should grow up with a solid foundation.
Allah bless us all with more compassion for others
It’s so sad
So tragic
Subhanalillah
SubhanaAllah, Yaa Allah grant them your mercy
SubhanaAllah

What were the causes of this depression of depression in generally for the benefit of others
Inna Lillahi wa Inna ilahi raji’un
When ignored, these untreated issues will manifest themselves in abusive behavior many years from now.
Terribly sad for the community
How did they manage to get hold of the guns? Obsession with the office series
Let’s call it what it is, stop the domestic neglect and abuse
Preach.
Manshall jasakallah
Jazakiallahu khayr habibti
Parents need to assess their mental health always too! Right on about those grades
We’re all in this together

Jazakhula to yo for addressing this
He was medicated. From
Thank you Hale
Terrifying loss! Allah have mercy on human race!!
Assalámu Alaikum Warahmatullaahi Wabarakaatuhu Wamahfirratuhu. I’m just thinking as a Muslim – am I wrong to think that should strengthen one’s eemaan all of the time through Thikrullaah- reading Al Quran – talking and interacting with friends and family – getting support from loved ones – it’s just a question
Its more than that, needs counselling and professional medication
Aslms sister you are wrong, will you tell someone who has cancer to strengthen their I aan & make thikrullah. Its an illness.
Inna lillaahi wa inna Ilayhi raji’oon
SubhannaAllah how terrifying
How terribly sad
Maa Shaa Allah Tabarakallah I missed your lecture lately
I read that we’re getting treated and we’re on medication too . It’s really sad .
*Read that they were getting treated & were on medication- sorry for typos
Asalamu Aleykum Warahamtullah Wabarakatuhu
