The Real Truth About Healing

In order to truly heal with lasting results, a person must heal themselves in a holistic way. All areas of human existence should be improved maximally.
You must focus on addressing medical conditions that could be contributing to your mental health. You must focus on developing your psycho-spiritual self. Allah and Islam saved my life! You must eliminate from your environment the people, places, and things that could negatively impact your well-being in any way. This is not easy – but if you are sick of being sick, and really want to improve your life, holistic healing is essential.
What would your life look like if you maximally healed? That ideal goal should be your target. Aim high and go 100% in. If you know where/what your target is, this will help guide your choices. Always make the next best choice to the best of your ability. When you fall off the wagon, get back on and don’t beat yourself up.
A personal example:
I underwent two years of intensive mental health medication treatment. A continuous issue I experienced was a total lack of energy. We changed major medications relentlessly to address this lack of energy. It felt as though there were heavy weights attached to every cell of my body.
Two years into medication treatment, I went to my primary care doctor for an physical medical condition (pre-diabetes from weight gain due to the mental health medication). I let my doctor know about my difficulty with my lack of energy. My doctor intelligently thought outside the box. He said that while the medication could be the cause of the exhaustion, we should rule out the possibility that I had a physical issue contributing to the exhaustion. I completed bloodwork testing my levels for Vitamin D, Iron, and Vitamin B. The results? I was deficient in all 3! Being deficient in these nutrients of the body explained all of my symptoms! Right from the beginning, if testing and intervention had been completed, maybe all those mental health medications (and all the medication changes) could have been avoided! I was shocked that my providers psychiatrically, a psychologist, a psychiatrist, and a therapist had never thought to have me tested.
As an attentive clinician, I make it a part of my intake process that medical conditions are ruled out as possible explanation. Any provider who is talented will address your needs in a holistic manner.
Fight for your life and well-being with 100% devotion. That way, when life gets rough you are prepared in the best way.
Happy healing and Many blessings my friends!
