Let’s first look at what health is. As early as 1948, the World Health Organization defined health as not just the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. From this concept, we should know that: on the one hand, health includes at least three aspects, namely, physical health, mental health and social health. On the other hand, health is inseparable from happiness in life, and it is almost impossible to talk about happiness in life without health. The modern view of health is a three-dimensional view of health. Physical health refers to the absence of disease and normal function of all organs and tissues in the body. Mental health refers to the emotional state of our zero, including our mental state, emotions and thoughts. Social health refers to an individual’s ability to adapt to society, that is, one’s ability to interact effectively with others and the social environment, develop satisfying interpersonal relationships, and achieve social roles. Pan Hui, Department of Endocrinology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital The opposite of health is disease. The appearance of disease is not accidental; it has been with human beings since their emergence. As we Chinese people often say, there is no such thing as eating grains and cereals without getting sick. We have to recognize the rationality and inevitability of the existence of diseases. In addition, for the whole human race, many disease-causing factors in the human and natural environment exist simultaneously, and the phenomenon of disease is always persistent. As long as human beings, creatures exist, diseases will always exist. So what causes disease? First of all, there is the genetic factor that comes to everyone’s mind. Many diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and certain cancers, have a genetic predisposition. If both parents are diabetic, there is a high probability that their child will also get diabetes by a certain age, and he is at a much higher risk of developing the disease than others who do not have genetic factors. Another example is that many people think that because my parents are obese, I am also fat. Some of these diseases are caused by genes, which determine susceptibility to the disease. Then there are some diseases that are caused by different lifestyles. For example, stomach ulcers, often occur in people with irregular diets; sexually transmitted diseases, often occur in people with unclean sex, sexual promiscuity; AIDS occurs because of drug use, same-sex relationships, sexual promiscuity, and so on. These diseases are usually not caused by genetic factors, but by unhealthy lifestyles. What we eat every day, when we eat, when we sleep, whether we smoke, whether we drink alcohol, whether we exercise, etc., all of these behaviors in our lives are closely related to our health. In a sense, we cannot determine our genes, but we can determine our lifestyles. Developing and practicing a good lifestyle is especially important in modern society to maintain and promote our health status. Not only that, but another factor in the development of disease is the social and environmental factors. We live in a specific natural environment and social context, and they affect every aspect of our physical and mental health. Environmental factors refer to the world around us that has an impact on our health. This means that we should stay away from air, water, soil and products that are dangerous. At the same time, we should also protect the environment we depend on for our own health and the health of others. On the other hand, the social factor means that we humans cannot exist independently of society, in which case he forms a political-economic relationship that is also a determinant of the distribution of diseases. For example, brain workers are prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases because they sit a lot and don’t like to move, plus they work under a lot of pressure. Below, we look at the types of incorrectness that people have when dealing with diseases. Clinically, we encounter many different types of patients who have different attitudes and reactions to the disease. For example, there is the superficial dashing type. This type of patient usually thinks, “I can’t be cured anyway, and I can’t die, so I just don’t care, I should eat, drink, and play. However, when there are serious consequences, such as hypertension patients do not control blood pressure, resulting in a stroke, diabetes patients do not control blood sugar and diet, resulting in serious complications, then it is too late to pay attention and receive treatment. In addition, there is another type of worrying. This type of patient thinks every day, “I’m so unlucky to have this disease, I’m not interested in work and study, I’m worried that I won’t live long, I’m looking for medicine everywhere, I’m pessimistic and desperate every day. Such a state is very detrimental to the treatment and recovery of the disease. Then there is another kind of sickness is anxious to seek medical help. This type of patients seek medical advice, ask for recipes, and then eat the medicine as a meal. Some patients can eat a big bowl of medicine instead of a big bowl of rice. These patients are usually unable to adhere to long-term regular medication, unable to adhere to a treatment plan, and always give up halfway, frequently changing drugs and treatment plans, resulting in excessive medical treatment. The consequence is that the patient himself is overburdened both physically and financially. Of course, there are also people who are afraid to know the truth, or worried about the financial burden and do not go to the doctor, which is called taboo. A study found that doctors and health care workers are more prone to the phenomenon of avoiding medical treatment. Because he thinks he knows medical knowledge, he does not want to go to the doctor, so some times, the doctor himself dragged a minor illness into a major disease. So how do we properly face the disease? We should look at and understand the inevitability of the occurrence of disease rationally and face it frankly. How to do it? First of all, we should understand disease correctly, and actively learn about scientific knowledge related to disease, not hearsay, not imagination. Some people like to read medical books by themselves, but I would like to remind you that we do not advocate ordinary people to read medical books without any knowledge reserve. Why? Because medical knowledge that is too specialized is not easily understood, and sometimes it tends to cause misunderstandings and even leads some people to take the right seat. The meaning is that some people look at the book and think they may have this disease, and look at it and think they may have that disease. This is actually because he lacks a background in medical knowledge, sometimes taking things out of context and lacking sufficient judgment. The correct face of the disease, but also to accept the reality of the disease, to establish the belief to fight the disease. Another aspect is to learn positive self-suggestion. Many people say to doctors that they are not feeling well every day, not feeling well here, not feeling well there, I think maybe they are suggesting themselves, always suspecting that they are sick. On the contrary, if you learn positive mental cues, actively divert your attention, spend more time with your family to relax and unwind, your illness will be alleviated. Many diseases are as long as you relax after, invariably the symptoms will be much less, and healing will be fast. Another way to relieve pain is to seek the help of others. Some patients often isolate themselves from society, sulking and carrying all the pain on their own. What should you actually do? Sometimes the courage to speak to friends and relatives about the confusion, anxiety and fears in the mind and actively seek help from doctors can sometimes relieve the pressure in the patient’s mind, which will help the treatment effect. In fact, many people can live happily with their illness, such as diabetic patients, as long as they keep their blood sugar under control and actively prevent and control complications. As long as the quality of life is not seriously affected, it is sometimes possible to live a long life with a disease state. Denying that you are living with a disease often leads to over-medication, which wastes a lot of human and material resources. Of course, we also need to have a certain vigilance against diseases. Although medical technology is now quite advanced and some people have some financial means, we must admit that medical treatment can never cure all diseases and doctors cannot be all-knowing in the face of disease. To acknowledge and be alert to the existence of disease is to recognize that medicine is an exploratory discipline and that there are potential risks inherent in medical treatment. So, when you are sick, how do you cooperate with treatment? First, we emphasize the importance of faithfully telling your doctor your medical history. Some patients intentionally keep or falsify their medical history to protect their privacy, making it impossible for doctors to properly determine the progression of the disease. Some patients deliberately withhold critical information, which eventually leads to their illnesses turning from mild to serious and serious to terminal, and tragedies like this happen in hospitals from time to time. In fact, through proper communication, patients can ask others to recuse themselves and then tell their doctors the truth about their situation. Another point is to ask the patient to follow the medical advice. Nowadays, some patients have taught themselves a lot of health science knowledge and follow it in their daily life, but when it comes to the time when they really need to follow what the doctor says, to adhere to the medication and to review it regularly, many of them often have difficulty in adhering to it, and sometimes adjust the medication plan on their own, which leads to the disease not being cured as expected and recurring. Of course, if you are not able to understand what the doctor told, you should take the initiative to ask in a timely manner, do not be bad mean to ask, seem to understand, affect the future treatment. If the treatment does not work, you should actively reflect the situation to the doctor so that he or she can adjust the treatment plan according to the treatment effect. In addition, the patient should actively establish good communication with the doctor to build confidence in overcoming the disease. Finally, patients should also take the initiative to monitor their indicators, such as blood pressure and blood sugar, on a regular basis. If the doctor says to review the disease once every three months, do not come back to see the doctor after a year. In fact, many diseases need to be reviewed regularly so that the doctor can adjust the treatment plan in time according to the patient’s recovery. Therefore, we should learn to face the disease correctly, communicate well with the doctor, and actively accept and cooperate with the treatment to minimize the health risks of the disease.
