When we look at mental disorders and depression and similar mental illnesses, we can divide them into 2: In Amraad Nafsia, or mental illness, and in Amraad Al-Arwaah Al-Ghabeetha, or illnesses caused by Shayateen.
So we see that not every person who starts acting strange, or becomes insane is immediately possessed or touched by sihr, etc. It is true that very often the symptoms are identical, this because on the one hand the shayateen mimic medical illnesses both mentally and physically. so that people do not get suspicious of starting with roqyah, and on the other hand because they cause damage in eg the head that results in the same complaints as with the medical mental disorders.
We will list a number of differences to know which species you are dealing with.
- Mental illness is sometimes caused by events and behaviors that one has in society, such as trauma, neglect such as by drugs, abuse and many other reasons, while mental illness caused by the jinn always comes from sihr, mass, ayn or hasad.
- Mental illnesses always have exactly the same symptoms and behaviors, such as manic depressive and have their specific symptoms, this is not the case with mental illnesses caused by Shayateen, the signs and symptoms can change every week and even every day.
- Someone who suffers from a mental illness shows no reaction during the roqyah, on the contrary he can feel peace and tranquility, unlike a mental illness caused by the shaytan, one will respond to this with the known reactions at roqyah
What is important is that a person who is mentally ill and this is entirely medical, that who is treated by doctors as well as by a raaqi, as the Quran is a cure for everything, contrary to a person who is mentally ill by the jinn, this one is of no use to a doctor's treatment, but only through roqyah.
We will discuss a number of them in more detail later, such as schizophrenia and epilepsy.
