SEEKING MEDICAL HELP
EARLIER
AND D()
N()T HIDE
YOUR SICKNESS F()R FEAR
OF
TREATMENT
One
ol
the
basic
principles
in
prescribing psychologic
drug
is
that
the
same
type
of
illness
may
present
itself
in
different
ways
depending
on the
age,
personality,
and
social
situation
of
the
patient. lllness
influences
the
attitude
of
the
patient.
The
implied significance
of
disease
in
the
patient
is mind
carries
becomes
a
potential
threat
and
cause
of
physical disintegration.
Feelings of
discouragement
and
apprehension
of death
may
cause
sometimes anxiety
and
depression. This
explains a num-
ber of
common
psychologic
defenses
which the
patient
exercises
against
illness. He may
refuse medical
aid, or, if
he
summons the
courage
to consult
a
physician,
he
may minimize
or
even
fail to
mention
the
very
symptom about which
he is most
deeply concerned.
The
management
of
the
patient,
even
with
cancer,
has
become
increasingly
important
as our ability
to
cure more
of the
patients
improve
through the
use
of
new
technology including
sur-
gical,
radiation,
and
chemothe-
rapeutic procedures.
At
the
pres-
ent,
the possibility
of
curing most
malignant diseases
lies
in
early
detection. Usually
the
family
physician or general internist
can
make
his
judgments
regarding
the
significance
of the
patient's
complain and often are
a
major
factor
influencing
the
patient's
survival.
The
earlier
one
seeks
medical
help,
the
better
the
curing
of
the disease.
lf
you
hide
your
sickness
for
fear
of
treat-
ment,
it is
like
someone
who
intends
to
conceal his fault
for
advisory
criticism.
