Patience in the face of affliction and striving against the self to obey Allah are righteous deeds for which Allah bestows the greatest reward, for "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account." And if Allah loves a people, He afflicts them. Whoever is content receives contentment, and whoever is displeased receives displeasure. Furthermore, any affliction that befalls a believer expiates their sins. It is advised not to surrender to deviant inclinations but to seek Allah's help and seek treatment from specialists, for every illness has a cure.
