What is the solution to the problem of a woman pacing in a room and talking to herself, and her preference for isolation, which started 9 years ago?
It is difficult to diagnose psychological problems from brief information, but the mentioned symptoms may indicate "Maladaptive Daydreaming" (MDD), where imagination overwhelms reality, and this intensifies with listening to anasheed or music that stimulates imagination. To overcome this problem, the following is recommended: 1. Stay away from anasheed and songs and listen to the Quran. 2. Engage in beneficial activities: reading and memorizing the Quran, dhikr (remembrance of Allah), household chores, taking care of the child, and pursuing hobbies. 3. Maintain wudu (ablution) regularly and increase acts of obedience and supererogatory prayers. 4. Avoid isolation and solitude. 5. Accompany righteous female friends who help in acts of obedience. 6. Reflect on Allah's creation and the universe instead of illusions.
If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult a psychiatrist or seek behavioral therapy.
