Question
Is it permissible to acquire treatment by psychologists/ psychiatrists?
Answer
If you are inclined to become mad, then these people are the best suited for inducing insanity. The treatment of psychologists/ psychiatrists is the figments of their opinion which have no significance in Islam. Much of their methodology is in conflict with the Shariah. It is not permissible to resort to their treatment.
