Medicine means that various phenomena that were thought to occur in social life, such as religion, justice, education, and the home, are gradually addressed.
An example of medical therapy is that restless children and child dysfunction, which are problems with parental discipline, are known as hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities. Phenomena that once created family, community, and religion, such as pregnancy, childbirth, and death, are now considered in the medical environment.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and / or dementia (aging, dementia in the elderly), which is classified as a mental disorder in the elderly, blurring the deterioration of advanced cognitive function with age in humans. Routine medical treatment is intended as a diagnosis of dementia. Transfer from home delivery to hospitals and maternity wards in developed countries is often recognized as an example of medicine.
Being Healthy needs to be acquired by self
Talk to your doctor about physical and mental health problems. But that is not enough. Unfortunately, medical care cannot solve everything. Some diseases have no current cure, while others are discharged but suffer the consequences of surgery.
When that happens, we want more medical research, new treatments, and the development of new drugs to improve our quality of life. If you have a prejudice due to lack of understanding of society, I would like you to remove the prejudice as much as possible. Therefore, we cannot stand still. We need to act on our own, raise awareness about the disease in society and make society understand the disease. In this way, health activity refers to actions that strive to spread one’s illness or disability to society and spread understanding.
In the United States, news reports have shown that breast cancer patients have climbed Kilimanjaro. They did not become mountaineers. By challenging the highest peak in the world, Kilimanjaro, we will present to the media that you can work energetically without losing the disease. They also intended to encourage women who are battling the same breast cancer and patients battling a serious disease, while also making society interested in their disease.
Originally, the idea of health activity became known in the United States when the problem of AIDS broke out in the 1980s. When AIDS began to spread, researchers from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They were trying to find out the cause, but the government did not fund the problem much and the results were good. During that time, many died from the disease. AIDS was initially thought to occur in the gay (male gay) community in large cities.
But in reality, the PLWHA (people living with HIV / AIDS) community is made up of hemophiliacs and drug lovers who inject intravenously, and in the gay community they are themselves. It became necessary to unite to protect.
A group of activists has begun working to provide medical services and housing to patients and to develop public health education on the lifestyle changes needed to stem the wave of infections. ACT UP was founded in 1987 in New York and is probably the most famous organization. Their actions have attracted public attention, attracted the attention of drug companies, government officials, and researchers, garnered large donations, and produced faster new drug approval processes and other important results.
Power, health as a resource
The WHO uses the terms perfect and condition in its definition of health to find the ideal condition that encourages overdependence on medical care. Then it is criticized. It is the story of a time when acute diseases such as infectious diseases could be cured if an ideal health condition existed. It is said to be unsuitable for times when chronic diseases need to be prevented and prevented for a long period of time.
Also, with the shift to chronic diseases, medical care has evolved, and conditions that were not previously the target of medical care are becoming the target of medical care. For example, restless children and poor children’s grades are now considered hyperactivity disorders and learning disabilities. Birth, death, and obesity have long been the goal of treatment. This phenomenon is called medicalization. Of course, some people can be saved, but there is a risk that various problems will be left to medical attention and underlying social problems will be hidden. There is also a concern that people will lose their original ability and confidence to deal with and solve problems.
