Violence in Adolescent Life: An Islamic Approach to Mental Recovery: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

This literature review examined the complex issue of adolescent violence and its significant impact on mental health, focusing on various forms of aggression, including physical, verbal, emotional, and cyber violence. The review highlighted how exposure to these types of violence led to increased risks of mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among adolescents. It discussed the long-term psychological effects, emphasizing the importance of understanding these consequences for effective intervention strategies. Additionally, the review explored an Islamic approach to mental recovery, emphasizing the integration of spiritual practices, community support, and culturally relevant counseling methods. The findings underscored the necessity for comprehensive mental health interventions that address the unique experiences of adolescents exposed to violence while promoting resilience through Islamic psychological principles. Recommendations were provided for developing integrated programs, enhancing community engagement, and conducting further research to better understand the nuanced effects of violence on adolescent mental health
