The answer

Treatment is recommended, not obligatory. The best cure for obsessive thoughts is self-struggle, strengthening one's will, and disregarding them. There is no impediment to combining Quranic remedies, herbs, and organic treatments, provided a trusted doctor is consulted for the organic treatments. Treatment with the Quran is good, and it contains blessings and benefits.
