Medical scientists and doctors confirm that most diseases and illnesses are caused by psychological problems and disorders; and it is common sense that ulcer is caused by psychological problems, and so are most diseases of the heart and nervous system. Psychological problems stem from life problems that man has in his daily life.
Moreover, most up-to-date medical studies show that most organic diseases are caused by psychological disorders. Therefore, it is wrong to separate organic disorders from psychological ones.
In this context, a friend of mine told me that he went to a foreign country for a surgical operation to his heart. As soon as he was admitted into hospital, a good experienced nurse came in with some flowers that she put in a beautiful vase. While arranging the flowers , she kindly asked, “What is the matter?” “I need a heart operation.” He replied. “Who is going to do the operation?” She asked. “Dr. so and so.” He said. “Oh!” she said encouraging, “This is the best doctor! And he has so far done thousands of successful operations similar to yours!”
Her nice words made him feel very comfortable and safe . Later on, he found out that the nurse was actually a psychiatrist who was employed by the hospital to make him feel safe and comfortable before the operation. This is because the good psychological and spiritual condition of the patient helps a lot in making the surgical operation successful.

The messenger of Allah (PBUH) said several centuries ago:
"When one of you visits the ill, then reassure him regarding his lifespan. Indeed that will not repel anything, but it will comfort his soul. "
[ al-Tirmidhi ]
He told us to try to lift up the patient's spirit a long time before scientests did, and in another Hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari, Ibn Abbas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, visited a sick Arab man and whenever the Prophet would visit a sick patient, he would say, “No harm will befall you. It is purification, if Allah wills.”
so let's do what the Prophet told us so that we'll gain Allah's pleasure and help our sick ones to recover soon.
