How do you distinguish between jinn possession and mental illness? When should you seek ruqyah vs. a doctor?
As a default, 90–99% of cases believed to involve jinn are actually natural mental/psychological issues. Common disorders like schizophrenia and depression have natural causes. Some cases are genuinely jinn-related but this is a minority. Ruqyah on yourself is always safe. Only if you notice strange reactions to Quran recitation should you consult an experienced practitioner.

The Quranic principle of qisas: if they transgress against you, you may respond in kind. A purely theoretical approach would have led to the annihilation of Muslims throughout history.
