Also, I really appreciated that you talked about the impact of family on this stuff because it has a lot to do with family dynamics and abuse too.

This was a great video. I just wish it also included the facts about the importance on teaching our imams too about this topic and if someone needs to take medications, etc.

This is actually interesting. I heard another talk about this topic from another Muslim therapist, and she mentioned that people with eating disorders can be excused from fasting. I don't think I heard it from this talk (yet)...The other therapist mentioned the aya from Surah Al Baqrah on how Allah swt excuses people from fasting with illness. Especially people who have to take medications and the impact of fasting. This was good, and I really liked it. But I wish this talk also talked about people who can't fast, how stigma/bad it can be in our community where people judge people who don't fast due to these reasons.
