How can a woman rid herself of the psychological suffering and behavioral disturbances she feels, and return to the path of rectitude and faith after bad experiences with religious claimants and forbidden relationships, when she feels lost, confused, and has lost her identity?
To overcome worry and depression, the following is recommended: Supplicating with the Duas (prayers) for worry, sadness, and distress, and increasing the remembrance of Allah Almighty; for hearts find tranquility in His remembrance, and it is a fortress against Satan. It is also advised to be patient in the face of بلاء (affliction), to beware of doing what displeases Allah, to associate with righteous women, to hasten marriage to a righteous man, and to be diligent in performing Shar'iyyah (Islamic exorcism), while being careful not to be in seclusion with the reciter. Consulting psychiatrists may also be beneficial for help with treatment, and it is also recommended to be dutiful to one's mother and assist her.
