A person who
persistently and frequently consults a doctor for even a minor ailment or onset
of a symptom is said to be affected by doctor dependency syndrome. Beginning as
a concept this psychological condition has got so aggravated that today it is
included in the cognitive behavioural theory in psychology. Let me give you
some ideas as to how you can avoid this syndrome.
1. Banish from your heart the childhood
memories of seeing the doctor frequently for treatment for even minor illness
2. Always try home-made remedy before
checking with a doctor. Learn first–aid techniques such as dressing wounds,
scratches and applying balms, self-care techniques in managing head-aches,
vomiting, constipation, gastric etc.
3. Take care in galloping too many antibiotics
and other habit forming drugs. Instead get your doctor to prescribe
supplementary vitamins and minerals that you take every day religiously. As regards
to vitamins you give break of few weeks after taking these for a 3 month period
4. Allow nature to be your first port of
call. In my childhood there was a saying: “feast when in cold and fast during
fever”. In most cases your food habits influence your health conditions
5. Ignore prompts and hints from family
members asking you to see a doctor when you catch a chill or have running nose.
This is another instance where the body expels phlegm from your body
6. Understand the symptoms and causes of
frequently occurring illnesses such as common cold or pain in the body. Do not
rush into thinking a symptom as disease. For example, not every pain in the
chest amounts to a break-down of the heart
7. Drink plenty of lukewarm water and go
for liquid foods when you have slight temperature or non-recurring constipation
8. Talk to your friends, colleagues and
get some of their ideas in treating milder form of diseases such as head-aches
9. Take rest when you are physically
exhausted
10. If you are not in good health for some
time, then resort to Buddhist Bhavana to bring solace.
A cosmic
analysis of your body, mind and spirit can come up with few other suggestions
that can work for you along with the items mentioned above.
