Can Psychology be helpful in Treatment with medicine?

I don’t think myself capable to suggest any suggestion for healthcare system and professionals. But I have my own view and it will be my pleasure to write it in any way. In India, one thing I always observes. Treatment is based on symptoms that are described by patients. Even in case of psychological conditions where patient feels he or she has disease but in actual state he doesn't have anything.

Doctor prescribes drugs. Patients take it and get psychological belief that after taking medicine he or she will be better.

Now question arises whether giving medicine to all patients that are coming in hospital is good or not. Isn't it medical professional responsibility to consult to the patient and provide them advice or suggestion in spite of giving medicine?

We can’t take it lightly because over use of medicine is becoming dangerous problem. Superbug is new form of bacteria that are resistant to all type of available antibiotics and one of major cause for formation of this virus is wrong practice or over prescription of medicines.

Few conditions like fever, cold, some cases of headache, acidity etc where we can avoid medicine and can get relief only with consultation or home remedies. Food is better than medicines. In some extent we have to develop our grandmother’s formula to get relief in few conditions.

Our immune system is only solution for treating diseases then why shouldn't we leave some medical conditions to our body for treating them and don’t be try to interfere with it. Psychology can play much better role in this matter.

Understanding patient’s psychology can make difference in treatment. Now we have best professionals and leading to make India as a health exporting or tourism country. But for poor patients always suffer. Doctors don’t have time to understand or consult patients. Crowded OPD’s makes it more difficult. But we have to think. We have to work in this matter.

With growth and develop, new challenges arise. In healthcare, we have number of hidden and known challenges. One we are discussing here. Combination of psychology and medicine may be valuable to society. For making change we have to think different. Whether it is wrong or right but thinking should be continuous.

Hopes for better and best.
