Our past illnesses may recur and we may experience the same disease process again. Even the mildest illnesses such as cold and lip herpes can recur in periods when our body resistance decreases and our immune system weakens.
If we cannot protect ourselves and prevent the necessary conditions from occurring, it is inevitable that the disease will knock on our door. It is inevitable that a blood pressure patient who consumes salt will experience a hypertensive attack, a diabetic who cannot stay away from the baklava tray will fall into a diabetic coma, and a sinusitis patient who walks around with wet hair will experience inflammation again. A person should know himself and his disease, and not pave the way for the disease.
The four basic factors that cause disease recurrence when found together are: genetic factors, environmental factors, biological factors, personal characteristics (personality structure). , habits etc.). Genetic factors cannot be changed in our time (this statement may change as medical advances are made in genetics), it is very difficult to change environmental factors (which one of the negativities of the outside world can be changed by a person? is not enough). Drug treatment protocols determined for biological factors have developed considerably in our age. There is no medicine that can change personal characteristics, a person must make arrangements in his life, style and habits. If he remains as he was before he got sick and says "I won't change, I will live the way I lived in the past", he invites a relapse of the disease. The person who has a heart attack must quit smoking, his bad friend of 30 years, and if he continues to smoke, he must risk having a second heart attack. A person who thinks "I should be able to lift weights again" and acts without protecting himself should not be surprised if his herniated disc recurs.
Psychiatric diseases are no different from other disorders. For example, a patient who has overcome a period of depression may become ill again if he maintains his pre-disease state and cannot make the necessary changes in himself (these issues are addressed in psychotherapy processes). “What if I get sick again!” Instead of living with anxiety, we take the disease as an opportunity to confront the negativities we have in ourselves (attitude mistakes, rigid personality traits, negative thought schemes, etc.) and make a change. It would be a healthier approach to go.
