What does Islam say about mental health and seeking help?

Islam recognises human hardship, encourages patience, prayer, and reliance on Allah, and does not forbid seeking treatment — the Prophet ﷺ taught that Allah has sent down a cure for every illness. Seeking help from qualified professionals is compatible with faith and trust in Allah.
