The Shaykh : If it is prescribed by a specialist doctor, there is nothing wrong with it. Even for sedation, do you not find that when a person wants to have a procedure, he is sedated? Yes, he is sedated. Without a doubt, it is the same for those who have a mental illness; they are given these pills so that their nerves can relax and they can sleep, and there is nothing wrong with that.
