Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a high-achieving student who obtained a high percentage in high school, so I suffered from depression and was afflicted with waswas (whispers of doubt). I went to the psychiatrists and spent large sums of money on these medications, but I did not benefit. I also used ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), and I have been in this state for many months. I have little desire for knowledge or study, and I wish for death at every moment. His question is: What should I do? Should I go back to the doctors again, because they say there is another treatment, as the first one may not have suited me, or what should I do? Guide us, may Allah grant you success.
Answer:
You must be patient. You must be patient and increase your supplication in the morning and evening, and the adhkar (remembrance of Allah). What is this? Using the prescribed adhkar in the morning and evening, and increasing your supplication. Do not despair; Allah is near and answers. And if there are permissible or beneficial medications, use them. Yes.
