لما عقلك يتحول لعدوك.......

This episode features Dr. Akmal Najah (PhD in Clinical Psychology) discussing the fundamental differences between psychological and mental disorders, and how individuals can recognize their condition and seek appropriate help. Highlights of the episode: The difference between psychological and mental illness: Dr. Najah explains that a person with a psychological disorder possesses "insight"; they are aware of their suffering and its impact on their life, while someone with a mental illness lives in a parallel world and often lacks awareness of their problem. Anxiety disorder (the hidden motive): The episode explains the philosophy of anxiety as a defense mechanism through which the mind attempts to "predict" disasters to protect the individual, leading to a cycle of catastrophic thinking and magnifying minor issues. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): The episode sheds light on the suffering of those with OCD, and how trivial thoughts can escalate into compulsive behaviors (such as excessive cleaning) that consume their time and disrupt their daily lives. Panic Attacks: The episode highlights that the symptoms are primarily physical (rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, dizziness), which often leads patients to consult internists and cardiologists before identifying the psychological cause. Treatment Myths: The episode discusses the cultural barriers that drive some to resort to traditional Islamic healing practices (ruqyah) or magic before seeking psychiatric help, emphasizing that mental disorders are conditions requiring specialized treatment (behavioral or pharmacological). A Message to Families: How families should deal with a patient who refuses treatment, and the importance of understanding that mental health is not a stigma but an essential part of overall well-being.
