I am around 16 years old. From around 2 months, I have been facing many problems. I am feeling lonely, depressed, confused, irritated, disturbed, etc. These increase during college hours. I feel like crying and running away to home. At home, I somewhat get relief. But, again during college hours, these come back.
Are these my psychological problems or do they have some spiritual basis?
I consulted an Alim and he said that it is because of an evil eye.
Please give the proper solution and procedure for it.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is important that you engage yourself in the remembrance of Allah, to recite the Glorious Qur`an, to sit in the company of pious people, and to listen to the speeches of our great Ulema may also help you overcome your anxiety related depression. Allah says:
Remember, in the remembrance of Allah is the solace [, comfort and peace] of the heart[1].
