About this episode

Did you know that the Prophet ﷺ laid down the groundwork that was used by Muslim scholars to identify mental health conditions?

Tune in to the first episode of Holistic Healing with Dr. Rania Awaad, as she discusses the prophetic guidance to dealing with mental health challenges.

This series was brought to you in collaboration with the Stanford Muslim Mental Health Lab.
