Background and Aim: How to improve mental health through spiritual health is the focus of this article. Firstly, it explains some mental disorders such as mind ruminations, viruses of the mind, mental conflicts, and chaotic imaginations. It then discusses the prevention and treatment of these disorders.
Methods: This research was conducted through a library study, collecting information from psychological, religious, and mystical sources, along with experimental analysis and religious and mystical explanations of the data.
Results: Mind ruminations are prevented by belief in divine wisdom, supplicating prayer, and submission to divine will. They are treated using three methods: theological reminder, self-tolerance, and forgiveness of oneself and others. Viruses of the mind are prevented by avoiding real and virtual socializing with unintimates and are treated through religious and intellectual assessment of false beliefs, humility before divine verses, and strengthening of religious beliefs. Mental conflicts are prevented through medicine and education of the soul and treated by examining and assessing conflicting desires, then choosing one according to the law of intellectual and religious ethics. Disturbed thoughts are prevented and treated through the principle of silence of the heart and studying it as sensual silence and remembrance of the heart in a special way.
Conclusion: Based on the research and explanation, the principles of spiritual health can play a role in promoting mental health and can be used to prevent and treat mental illnesses. |
