These diseases have a severe impact on human life, and a large percentage of patients who suffer from them do not get treatment for them, as the people of sorcery have appeared in Muslim countries, who falsely claim to treat it, and falsely extort people’s money. This research aims to describe contemporary psychiatric diseases, and to reveal legitimate measures to prevent them, based on the inductive and descriptive analytical method. The research concluded that among the most important measures that protect a person from mental illness are the following: belief in Allah; seeking help and trust in Him; remembrances and aphoristic supplications; reciting the Qur’an and legal ruqyah; performing acts of obedience and displaying good morals; accompanying and sitting with the righteous; and taking medication. There are recent foreign scientific studies, which have confirmed a number of these means and measures that protect man from mental illnesses. It is not permissible to treat these mental illnesses with forbidden things, just as it is forbidden to take medication with sorcerers and priests (divineers); because it entails a great promise and help in disobedience to Almighty Allah.otherMeasures; Prevention; Mental illness; Islamic lawArticle140156
