Do you think that people self medicate because treatment has become very expensive?


What are the importance of these factors related to self medication or alternative methods?

Accessibility problems to the hospital
Consultation fee
Cost of the medicine
Inconvenience
Modern medicine is not effective in some cases
People think that they have enough knowledge to treat themselves.

Yes all good reasons.

consultation fee may be a problem but
Accessibility problems to the hospital is the main reason

I think that all but one is very good reasons. I don't think "people think that they have enough knowledge to treat themselves" but hope they do. Why go to the Dr if you can't pay for the meds and in my town you usually have to know your gonna be sick two or three weeks in advance!!!! Then that leaves the ER well you sit there till you catch whatever virus is going around and you end up sicker than when you went in. And in many places the staff infections are getting really bad. So sometimes its better to self medicate and hope you did the right thing.// Thanks for listening Jeani

Sometimes, but I think it's moreover that people are in a masive state of denial or some sort of social disphoria which they can't face that leads them to self medicating.

Alcohol and illegal drugs are the most common forms of self medicating.
