April 08, 2023 Interview 14: Muslim Mental Health During Ramadan, with Maliha Khan, LPC
In this insightful interview by psychiatrist Dr Sulman Aziz Mirza with therapist Maliha Khan, LPC, we delve into the topic of mental health during Ramadan, exploring common misconceptions, anxieties, and considerations. Fasting in Ramadan is not just about abstaining from food and drink; it's also about controlling our Nafs (inner desires) and seeking closeness to Allah. We discuss the reasons why some Muslims may feel anxious about Ramadan, including the pressure of rigidity and absolutism in fasting practices. Drawing from the Seerah (life of the Prophet Muhammad), we highlight the importance of normalizing anxiety as a human experience and finding balance between faith and mental health. We also shed light on the concept of Niyat (intention) in Islam and how it relates to rigidity, burnout, and shame.Additionally, we explore exemptions and contraindications for fasting, as well as the importance of seeking professional help when needed. We tackle the stigma around mental health in the Muslim community and discuss ways to break it, including healthy conversations, education, and support groups. We also emphasize the role of families, communities, faith leaders, and mental health professionals in supporting the mental health of Muslims during Ramadan and beyond.Join us for an engaging conversation on Muslim mental health during Ramadan, as we explore the intersection of faith and mental well-being, and seek to promote awareness, understanding, and support in our communities.Follow Maliha Khan, LPC:Instagram: https://instagram.com/mentalhealthwithmalihaTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@mentalhealthwithmalihaYouTube: https://youtube.com/mentalhealthwithmaliha5720Chapters0:00 Intro4:01 Ramadan 101 and different emotions with it12:00 Niyat (Intention), absolutism and rigidity in Islam17:52 Exemptions for fasting and...shame?28:27 Ghiba (gossip/backbiting) and trusting others34:26 Spiritual bypassing36:29 Just pray more?40:55 Eating disorders in Ramadan and support46:35 Integrating mental health within Muslim community60:36 Self-care and wrap-up__________________________________________Let's connect on all my socials (linktr.ee/sulmanazizmirzamd for everything everywhere all at once):TikTok (@TheKicksShrink): https://tiktok.com/@thekicksshrinkInstagram (@TheKicksShrink): https://instagram.com/thekicksshrinkYouTube (@TheKicksShrink): https://youtube.com/thekicksshrinkTwitter (@sulmoney): https://twitter.com/sulmoneyAudio only PodcastsAnchor.fm: https://anchor.fm/thekicksshrinkSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/hveys2cdApple: https://tinyurl.com/32mvzu8bGoogle: https://tinyurl.com/2p977brsDISCLAIMER: This video is purely informational and educational and does not constitute medical advice and/or recommendations.
