Objective: Understanding the interrelationship between cognitions, emotions and behaviors and how Islam approaches and alleviates mental illness.
Hermann Rorschach. healing Rorschach inkblot test Some psychologists use this test to examine a person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning. It has been employed to detect underlying thought disorder, especially in cases where patients are reluctant to describe their thinking processes openly.

Stimuli: Are events in the environment that influence behavior. These events are received through our eyes, and ears or sight and hearing Cognitions: How people acquire, process and store information. "All processes by which the sensory
input is transformed, reduced, elaborated, stored, recovered, and used. (Processing center)

Emotions: Are defined as a complex state of feeling that results in physical and psychological changes
that influence thought and behavior. Emotionality is associated with a range of psychological phenomena including temperament, personality, mood and motivation. Stimuli+Cognitions+Emotions=Behavior Psychologist claim that an experience does not automatically provoke a response,except in the case of reflexes-like pulling the hand away when it touches a hot surface. Complex responses that influence peopless ideas, beliefs, voluntary decisions and observable complex behavior come from previous conceptualizations, emotions and experiences which give meaning to subsequent environmental stimuli.

Yusuf Ali: Say: "Everyone acts according to his own Shakila. Define Shakila So it is our years of how we perceived the world and process it through our minds. and feelings and emotions and the acted out through our behavior is what has formed us. Reword this statement!

So psychological problems are due to distorted thoughts about stimuli which result in experiencing distressed emotions. This distorted thoughts produce illness such as intense anxiety, worry, grief and uncontrollable anger or an emotional person Cognitive distortions

All-or-nothing thinking (splitting) Thinking in terms of a false dilemma. In other words, splitting involves using terms like "always," "every" or "never" when this is not either true orequivalent to the truth. Overgeneralization Making hasty generalizations from insufficient experiences and evidence. Compare with misleading vividness. Contrast with precautionary principle, where a possible harm is rightly presumed true upon a reasonable suspicion until proven false beyond a reasonable doubt. Magical thinking - Expectation of specific outcomes based on performance of unrelated acts or utterances. In logic, this is called wishful thinking. Mental filter Inability or refusal to view positive or negative features of an experience, for example, noticing only an aesthetic flaw in a piece of otherwise useful clothing, or a single good dish in an otherwise awful meal. Disqualifying the positive Discounting positive experiences for arbitrary, ad hoc reasons. Jumping to conclusions Reaching preliminary conclusions (usually negative) from little (if any) evidence. Two specific subtypes are also identified: Mind reading Inferring a person's possible or probable thoughts from their behavior and nonverbal communication in the context of the situation. Fortune telling Inflexible expectations for how things will turn out before they happen.

Magnification and minimization Giving proportionally greater weight to a perceived failure, weakness or threat, or lesser weight to a perceived success, strength or opportunity, so the weight differs from that assigned to the event or thing by others. This is common enough in the normal population to popularize idioms such as "make a mountain out of a molehill." In depressed clients, often the positive characteristics of other people are exaggerated and negative characteristics are understated. There is one subtype of magnification: Catastrophizing Giving greater weight to the worst possible outcome, however unlikely, or experiencing a situation as unbearable or impossible when it is just uncomfortable.

Emotional reasoning Experiencing reality as a reflection of emotionally linked thoughts, e.g. "I feel [4] (i.e. think that I am) stupid or boring, therefore I must be." Shoulding Patterns of moral reasoning based on what a person morally should or ought to do rather than the particular case the person is faced with, or conforming strenuously to ethicalcategorical imperatives which, by definition, "always apply". Albert Ellis termed this "musturbation". Labeling and mislabeling Limited thinking about behaviors or events due to reliance on names; related to overgeneralization. Rather than describing the specific behavior, the person assigns a label to someone or something that implies the character of that person or thing. Mislabeling involves describing an event with language that has a strong connotation of a person'sevaluation of the event. Personalization Attribution of personal responsibility (or causal role or blame) for events over which a person has no control. Fallacy of fairness - Holding an ethical standard that other people don't meet.
[4]

Blaming - Holding other people responsible for the harm they cause, and especially for [4] their intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress on us. Fallacy of change - Relying on social control to obtain cooperative actions from another person. Always being right - Prioritizing truth or ethics over the feelings of another person.
