Message: <blockquote data-quote="angrisha" data-source="post: 196061" data-attributes="member: 12238">Often times when you talk about diseases off the mind, especially what we classify into the category of mental illness. This can be a very large scale. If i speak on, one spectrum such as depression newer studies are indicting that a vast majority of patients who are taking these drugs perform no better than the placebo group... There is also increase push for combo therapy which includes cognitive therapy. Now imo they're are certain disorders that do need testament and constant management. Scientists, have been working on this  research for a long while now.  Ive had this thought for a while now, we perceive  these ppl as sick based on what is normal per society.  But we really don't know what normal is.... I also have thought that ppl who have any illness really are faced with a very different type of 'rog' and maybe 'maya' and if they can get to a point, where they really are ready to change...there's no reason through reading the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji that they,might not be able to pull out of whatever illness. I know in the hardest times in my life, bani helped me through. It's still work on your part but it can be a great guide. Biggest thing I think that happens, we associate ourselves with the illness... To the point your only identity is that. I think Gurbani can apply... I also imagine it would be a tough road and whoever is taking that road will have to be up for it.</blockquote>
