Will These Pills Cast Jinn Out?
It's not uncommon for a Psychiatrist to hear such
question when He /She prescribe medications for a Psychiatric Disorder and he
has to give an answer. And while thinking about the answer he has to put into
consideration the cultural and religious beliefs of the patient and how to
avoid challenging them and at the same time he has to explain scientific terms
in a simple way. If you're not familiar with the Jinn this is one of the
beliefs according to Islam that Jinns are completely separate creatures createdby Allah from fire and they all serve God like angels and culturally people
believe that they can possess someone and usually the first thing to in some
societies is to seek help from Sheikhs or someone who could cast the Jinn out
or does the Exorcism. Among Christians they also believe in Satanic Possessions
as it is mentioned in the Bible.
Exorcism is also known in Judaism and Hinduism. Symptoms
can suggest that there is a paranormal activity, patients hear voices patients
feel that they're being watched or feeling sad or down all the time or on the
other hand they may be elated and excessively happy, Psychiatry has definitions
and codes for all these symptoms and has pharmacological and psychological
treatment but who will seek the help and how? That's the Question that we face
now, can Religion and Psychiatry cooperate together towards the welfare of the
patients?
