Suffering from lack of sleep and fear: What is the advice for him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I am a top student in the College of Sharia, and I remind the people and teach them the rulings of the Shari'ah in my town outside Riyadh. Then, after that, I came to dislike going to the college and disliked preaching to the people. Then a Shaykh read over me and said that what has befallen me is the evil eye. Now, Shaykh, I am suffering from a lack of sleep; I do not sleep except for two hours at night, and I feel fear when I go to sleep. So what is your advice to me? I hope you will make du'a' for me.

Answer:
May Allah be merciful to you and keep you safe. This is a psychological illness; it is not necessarily the evil eye. It may be a psychological illness. So go to the psychiatrists, perhaps they will find a cure for you. Yes.
