Emotional And Psychological Symptoms

What is her mood like? Is she irritable, tearful

, laughing inappropriately, cheerful despite the pain? Is she saying she's fine when she's not? Does she want company, does she want to be alone? Is she quieter than usual? More talkative? The psychological or emotional picture is extremely important in homoeopathy. It frequently gives us the strongest indications for the remedy, even when the illness seems to be entirely physical. This is not to say that illness is all in the mind, but to acknowledge that emotional and psychological reactions to, or forerunners of, illness are usually very characteristic of the patient and therefore help to individualize the condition more than many other symptoms can.

In acute illness, the psychological response to illness can sometimes show itself in a complete change of character. Mothers often know a child is ill long before a medical symptom appeals because they know that she is just 'not herself. In other cases the emotional nature of the patient may remain the same but become exaggerated. So, for instance, a person who is normally quite shy and reserved might become quite markedly reclusive, taking herself off to her bedroom or being unwilling to go out. What had been just a character trait becomes over-emphasized and more disabling in illness. Either of these types of change is an important

symptom

When a homoeopath treats illness which is long-standing or chronic, she continues to put a lot of emphasis on the psychological or emotional nature of the patient. However, in these cases, the psychological picture will correspond to the way in which the patient normally behaves, and may not be perceived as a symptom or a sign of illness. Our characters, our normal way of being, our personalities, were not so fixed when we wet children; they represent ways of reacting to life emotionally; psychologically which have become hardened, ossified. We our life-long characters like coats and think that is who we often not noticing that the coat is dirty or out of style, or i that we do not like it any more. In chronic disease a habitual me of being, a long-established personality pattern is just as much of a symptom as is long-standing joint pain, the typical way someone's digestive system works or the nature of her skin, Homoeopathy will not, of course, change a person's character, bat it may help to bring flexibility back into it.
