“How do we observe patience?” “In the same manner that we fast; completely certain that the adhān of Maghrib will eventually be called.”
B. B. Abdulla, Timeless Seeds of Advice: The Sayings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn al-Jawzi and Other Prominent Scholars in Bringing Comfort and Hope to the Soul

Johann Hari
“You can’t escape it: when scientists test the water supply of Western countries, they always find it is laced with antidepressants, because so many of us are taking them and excreting them that they simply can’t be filtered out of the water we drink every day.9 We are literally awash in these drugs.”
Johann Hari, Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression - and the Unexpected Solutions

Johann Hari
“In young people, [these chemical antidepressants] increase the risk18 of suicide. There’s a new Swedish study showing that it increases the risk of violent criminal behavior,” Irving continued. “In older people it increases the risk of death from all causes, increases the risk of stroke. In everybody, it increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. In pregnant women, it increases the risk of miscarriage [and] of having children born with autism or physical deformities. So all of these things are known.” And if you start experiencing these effects, it can be hard to stop—about 20 percent of people experience serious withdrawal symptoms.19”

Johann Hari
“in 1965, a British doctor called Alec Coppen came up with a theory. What if, he asked, all these drugs were increasing levels of serotonin in the brain? If that were true, it would suggest that depression might be caused by low levels of serotonin”

“Today they are all around us. Some one in five4 U.S. adults is taking at least one drug for a psychiatric problem; nearly one in four5 middle-aged women in the United States is taking antidepressants at any given time; around one in ten6 boys at American high schools is being given a powerful stimulant to make them focus; and addictions to legal and illegal drugs are now so widespread that the life expectancy of white men is declining for the first time in the entire peacetime history of the United States.”
