In this episode, Armaan, a psychiatry resident, opens up about his journey through medical training and how he’s weaving Islamic psychology into the fabric of modern psychiatry. He reflects on what it means to care for both the mind and the soul, reminding us that true healing goes beyond prescriptions and diagnoses. Together, we explore the challenges of being a healthcare professional, the quiet power of faith in recovery, and the profound act of simply witnessing a patient’s suffering without rushing to “fix” it. Armaan also shares his thoughts on moral injury in medicine and the hopeful, transformative role Islamic psychology can play in reimagining clinical care.
