Madness and Greatness
Tackling mental health taboos in Islamic society Dr Abdullah Gadeer A bold review of mental health tabooks in Islamic societies, with practical guidance on appropriate treatments today.
Many Muslims have outdated views of mental-health issues, clinging instead to old-fashioned prejudices, superstitions, and fake cures that do nothing to help the patient.
This book aims to debunk such myths, arguing that the Quran encourages reliance on science and trained professionals. Dr Gadeer, a professional psychiatrist based in Jeddah, Saudi Arbia, also tracks the evolution of how various civilizations have dealt with mental illness since ancient times. He offers several examples of how psychological disorders progress if left untreated and explains how effective treatment follows Islamic teachings. |
Dr Abdullah Gadeer is a mental health professional, based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with long experience tackling the taboos and misconceptions surrounding mental health in Arab society.
Dr Gadeer is passionate about health education, writing, space, and sports. He is active on social media, where he shares educational and inspirational content with his audience. |
