Psychiatrist Assoc. Dr. Hakan Balibey stated that being dehydrated causes anger. Stating that dehydration can cause some problems, psychiatrist Doc. Dr. Balibey said, “The person experiences great peace due to fulfilling his religious duties. Therefore, we say to those who can fast. However, it is special for some patients. We recommend that they consult their doctors first. Provided that they pay attention to their sleep patterns, they can fast. Apart from this, there are situations that require special attention in flaming psychotic conditions, which we call severe, as well as in mood disorder Bipolar affective disorder (Bipolar mood disorder) (Manic Depressive disorder).

PATIENTS SHOULD FAST CONSULTING THE DOCTORS

When patients with bipolar (Manic Depressive) disorder are sleep deprived, their illness can be triggered, they can become active, lively, their speech may increase and they can become restless. Especially the manic attack phase of bipolar patients can be triggered. Our patients with impaired judgment, which we call psychotic disorder in schizophrenics, may experience attacks again due to the disruption of their medication. As long as they pay attention to their medications and sleep, this can be minimal. In a study conducted in Morocco, it was determined that 60 percent of fasting bipolar patients relapsed and relapsed. Even those who have this disease and do not fast have a 30 percent risk of attack. Therefore, it would be more appropriate for these patients to be more careful and cooperate with their doctors. Other than that, other patients can fast.”

“Fulfilling religious obligations is a situation that relaxes people and gives peace of mind. Do not neglect to drink water. Drinking water is a condition that relaxes us. Thirst causes irritability and causes arguments close to iftar to increase. Let’s drink plenty of water and not skip meals. Let’s have our iftar and sahur. These will relax us. Let’s pay attention to our sleeping patterns. Let’s avoid excessive sweating and excessive activity. Half an hour of sleep in the afternoon will relax us, rejuvenate us, and reduce our nervousness and irritability. Those who want to fast can keep their fast, but those who have a serious illness should consult their doctor. Let them be careful, not to disrupt their eating and drinking habits, not to miss the iftar and sahur, and to take plenty of water.”
