Emphasized also are marriage, if possible, or fasting for those who cannot, frequent supplication with transmitted prayers, reading books of encouragement and deterrence, utilizing specialized resources, consulting doctors about stimulating or calming foods, avoiding solitude, and associating with righteous company.
