What is the secret that allowed Muslims to flourish into the Golden Ages as Europe sank into the Dark Ages? While people throughout the West were thought to be possessed by demons when dealing with depression, Muslims turned to Islamic teachings. Dr. Rania Awaad elaborates on the different scholars who initiated treatments that are now known as “therapy”!

This series was brought to you in collaboration with the Stanford Muslim Mental Health Lab.
