This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial compares two types of hypnotherapy to see which works better for anxiety and depression. One version includes Islamic spiritual elements like Quranic passages and religious imagery, while the other uses standard hypnotherapy techniques without religious content. Both are delivered by trained psychologists in 12 weekly sessions, and the study also includes a control group that receives no treatment so researchers can measure real improvements.
Many Muslim patients may feel that standard mental health treatments don't fully respect their faith and values. This study explores whether adding spiritual and religious elements to hypnotherapy makes the treatment more effective and meaningful for Muslim adults experiencing anxiety and depression.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: the faith-based hypnotherapy group, the standard hypnotherapy group, or a control group that receives no treatment. If you are in one of the treatment groups, you will attend weekly one-hour hypnotherapy sessions for 12 weeks with a trained clinical psychologist. You will complete questionnaires about your anxiety and depression at the beginning, after 12 weeks, and again at week 16 to measure any improvements.
