does medicines do anything with mind ?

Answer 1

let me see if i can answer this...

We live in a time when medical advances are happening faster than at any time in the past. Only ten years ago, less than half of medicines now in use were on the market. Partly because of the new drugs, more people live longer, they are healthier, and they are far more independent than in the past generations. Today's older people in particular benefit from the new medicines.

But with these benefits come risks. Drugs are powerful substances -- and if they're not used carefully, the consequences can be serious. Drugs can affect different people in different ways. People can sometimes forget whether or not they took a medicine. They might have trouble keeping track of what to take and when. Because elderly people generally take more medicines than anyone else, they naturally run a greater risk of having problems with drugs.

But these risks can be avoided. If you know how to prepare for a visit to your doctor, what questions to ask, how to take medicines, and what side effects to watch out for, you can cut down the risk of having bad reactions. The information in this booklet can help you do all these things.

Taking Responsibility for Your Own Health Care

Medicines now control many diseases that were crippling or fatal in the past -- diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some heart ailments. But the more new medicines there are, the more important it is for the patient to take responsibility for using them properly.

In this world of medical specialists, advanced technology, and new medicines that act in ways you don't understand, you -- the patient - still must take the major decisions about your own health. You are not alone, of course, for your doctors, pharmacists, and other health professionals are there to help you. But how you use their advice is up to you.
