Is it better for someone afflicted with a spiritual illness that has affected their mental faculties and prayers to be patient or to seek treatment, and if it is treatment, is it preferable to expedite it or not, and how can one who takes righteousness as a path to their treatment expedite it?

If a Muslim is confident that they can endure illness and forego treatment, seeking reward from Allah, then this is better for them, as Ibn Hajar deduced from the hadith of the woman who used to have epileptic fits. However, if they wish to seek treatment, then hastening to it is better, based on the hadith: "Be keen on that which benefits you." Hastening treatment involves utilizing the last third of the night for prayer and supplication, in addition to giving charity and drinking Zamzam water.
