Objective: Long-term use of ecstasy is known to be a risk factor for structural brain damage and psychosis. Most patients suffering from ADHD in childhood will not develop psychosis during adulthood but the risk is increased when there is concomitant significant drug use. However, it is difficult to distinguish between substance-induced psychoses with schizophrenic psychosis. Method: We report a case of a patient with history of ADHD who was untreated, who later developed psychotic symptoms soon after initiation of ecstasy uses. The symptoms persisted despite in a ‘drug-free period’ and intensified while on the ecstasy. Results: Present case helps to understand common neurobiological mechanism behind psychosis and brain atrophy, and risk factors such as ADHD and ecstasy abuse. Conclusion: More research in this area is vital for management and further understanding on the importance of treating ADHD earlier and to be more vigilant in establishing the history of substance use.

Relaxation technique is a method, process, procedure or activity that helps a person to relax. There are several methods of relaxation techniques that can be used proven beneficial to improve the individual state of relaxation. Relaxation can be performed individually or in a group. With suitable technique of relaxation, it will improve quality of life as well as emotional and physical. This study aims to investigate the impact of three different relaxation techniques, namely Autogenic (AGR), Progressive Muscle (PMR) and Music Relaxation (MR) on mood states among Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) athletes. Eighty UniSZA athletes aged between 18 to 25 years old were randomly assigned into four groups which were AGR, PMR, MR and control group. Each groups consisted of 20 subjects which were male and female athletes with multidiscipline of the sports involvement. The mood states were determined by Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) during pre and post-intervention. The subjects in the three intervention groups received relaxation training twice a week for four weeks, 30 minutes per sessions. While, a control group not received any relaxation training during the intervention time. Repeated measure ANOVA conducted showed that the two parameters in BRUMS significantly changes in post-intervention such vigour (F=16.083, p<0.0001) and confusion (F=3.412, p=0.022). Other negative mood scores showed no significant changes such; (anger; F=2.235, p=0.091, depression; F=0.960, p=0.416, fatigue; F=0.724, p=0.540, tension; F=16.083, p=0.913).The results of Pairwise Comparison revealed that the three types of relaxation techniques (AGR, PMR and MR) effective to enhance vigour (positive mood) score among the adult subjects. In this study, PMR was the most effective relaxation technique followed by AGR and MR to regulate the mood state among adults.

Islam places significant emphasis on mental health, urging Muslims to approach it holistically.
Until now, this characterization serves as a starting point for discussing the definition and
scope of Islamic spiritual care. This research aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of
al-Balkhi's contributions to Islamic psychology and their relevance to modern mental health
practice. The methodology utilized in this research is a literature review that synthesized
information from scientific texts, research reports, and historical accounts related to alBalkhi's work. This review synthesizes Abu Zayd al-Balkhi's pioneering contributions to
Islamic mental health principles, focusing on his seminal work Masalih al-Abdan Wa al-Anfus
(Sustenance of the Body and Soul). This review highlights the enduring relevance of al-Balkhi's
insights in mental health care, advocating for a holistic approach rooted in Islamic principles.
His classifications of depressive states and therapeutic methods, like exposure-based
treatments, still influence modern psychotherapy. Al-Balkhi's holistic view emphasizes the link
between spiritual and physical well-being. Analyzing his theories alongside current knowledge
aids in diagnosing consistently and guiding therapy effectively. Integrating historical
perspectives can enhance culturally sensitive mental health interventions within Muslim
communities, respecting diverse cultural contexts.
