Are there any related verses from the Quran or hadith or stories from any Prophets that dealt with this? I struggle with this and don’t know how to fix it.

I’m humbly requesting any advice you might have on how to deal with this.\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"May Allah ease your struggles and facilitate the best outcome for you and your children. To the best of my knowledge, the Qur’an and Hadith do not specifically address executive dysfunction. However, the Prophet ﷺ did tell us that\"},{\"attributes\":{\"italic\":true},\"insert\":\" “Allah has not sent down a disease except that He has sent down its cure”.\"},{\"insert\":\" He encouraged us to seek those cures, and that includes conditions of the mind and heart.\\n\\nThere is no religious stigma in Islam for seeking help, whether the ailment is physical, mental, or emotional. Getting support is not a sign of weak faith but of taking responsible steps toward well-being.\\n\\nThat said, I do understand your concern about how such a record could be viewed in a family court setting. I’m not an expert in these legal matters, so I would strongly encourage you to consult with someone who is, ideally a family lawyer in your area.\\n\\nIf you feel it’s safer, consider seeking help through trusted personal networks, like friends or family, who can connect you to qualified individuals who understand your situation and can offer help while maintaining complete privacy and without anything being formally recorded.\\n\\nMay Allah guide you to the best decision, protect you and your children, and grant you peace.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"686c05975bca77ccedff9483","tag":"Health: Mental & Emotional","count":28}],"createdOn":"2025-06-30T02:41:48.785Z"}
