Abstract

Objectives: The study was conducted to evaluate the correlation between FASTING in the month of RAMADAN and MENTAL HEALTH. Method: 75 seemingly healthy method men intending to fast in RAMADAN 1418 lunar calendar (1376 solar calendar, 1997 Christian calendar) as they had in the previous years were studied in a two-month period. The subjects' MENTAL HEALTH was assessed through SCL-90-R at three stages, once in the beginning of RAMADAN, then at the end of RAMADAN, finally a month later. The data were analyzed through t-tests. Findings: The average scores of the subjects who fasted in RAMADAN showed significant difference across all scales at the end of Ramdan as well as a month later. FASTING in RAMADAN only significantly reduced the average score on the scale paranoia. The reduction was still significant at the follow up, a month after RAMADAN. The study demonstrated that the scores obtained by the married subjects on obsession, compulsion, and paranoia scales were higher after RAMADAN as compared to single subjects; the reduction of paranoia and the overall coefficient of symptoms were greater among the employed FASTING subjects than their unemployed counterparts. Results: FASTING in RAMADAN reduces some mental disturbances, but such reduction is not significant in most cases. There is a need for more controlled studies.
