Please help me, I'm in such a quandry. I keep having this to-ing and fro-ing with regards to whether to undertake a job for training in psychiatry.

Is this a halaal profession?
Am I at risk of loosing my iman or faith or ihsan to train in this area? (I am really worried about this)

I feel there are some therapies - CBT,FT, psychological techniques that can be use to help and even bring success to some.

But what about the prescribing of medication? What if that makes things worse?

I am torn - between my interest in learning more about what exactly goes on, and between having to section someone for a psychotic episode and prescribing sedative medication and feeling like im doing something wrong.

Please help - your thoughts, ideas insha'Allah.

I need to give a decision soon.

If I could learn, without prescribing, I'd be happy.

I think there may actually be Muslim psychiatrists on this forum (but I'm not sure). I hope someone will answer your question

If not, bump until it gets answered. If you have access to a reliable local Mufti, please ask his opinion too. It is very praiseworthy that you are worried about your imaan

assalam alikum wa rahmat Allah,
sister western psychology is secular. it is godless. even the humanist... etc, at root they are secular. their view of human problems including mental problems is contrary to islamic teaching, similarly their view of normal or successful human is farthest from what Allah prescribes. they see productivness and most pleasure seeking humans the best of human form they promote and help to create that in the clients. rightousness, good character, prayer, sabr, dignity, rahmah. and all the good attributes of allah that a muslim should gain is for the most part against their agenda. farthermore the real intervention is mostly done by drugs rest is a mony making and a coinfusing business. evreything about modern psychology is unislamic. in islam your problems are your blessing and a gift from allah SWT to detach you from this earthly attachment and strengthen your soul(heavenly aspect) even talking about your problems that "the best they do" is unislamic.That is why psychologists have highest suicide rate

Wa Alaikum Salaam there are some situations where pscyhotropic meds are very much needed however if you feel some apprehension about prescribing meds maybe you might want to consider becoming a Psychologist, a Psychologist generally does not prescribe medicines and helps clients through Psychotherapy
