Answered by Sayyidi Habib Umar bin Hafiz (may Allah protect him and benefit us by him)
How should we deal with mental illness amongst our youth? Is there a light dhikr that people can read that can ease their state?
In general, any dhikr or prayer upon the Prophet ﷺ is beneficial in this regard. The following adhkar can be recited specifically:
Recite 100 times a day:
رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لي صَدْرِي و يَسِّرْ لي أَمْرِي
Rabbi-shraḥ lī ṣadrī wa yassir lī amrī
“My Lord bring tranquillity to my heart and give me ease in my affair.” (20:25-26)
Recite 70-450 times a day according to the need:
حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيل
Hasbunallāhu wa ni’am al-wakīl
“Allah is enough for us and He is the best One in whom we place our trust.” (3.173)
Recite 11-100 times a day:
و أُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إلى الله إِنَّ الله بَصِيرٌ بِالعِباد
wa ufawwiḍu amrī ila’llāh inna’llāha baṣirun bi’l-‘ibād
“I resign my affair to Allah, Allah is fully aware of (His) slaves.” (40.44)
Recite Surat al-Inshirāḥ (94) and Ayat al-Kursī after every prayer.
Surat al-Ikhlāṣ, al-Falaq and al-Nās are also effective in warding off different types of harm
