Superstitious remedies

Definition

Word	It is a Sehgal Rubric. Is to start believing on the ideas or thoughts which are not real. One starts believing on them on the basis of his past experience or to believe in on the themes experienced by others. How to differentiate it with fear, superstitious and Anticipation? Here we have to understand the psyche of the patient is that he has clear cut Fear in his mind about a problem he had suffered but has no logical background to convince when asked how can he say that in the coming winter he will get the same problem. He has no answer to explain that. But he has a firm belief that during the coming winters he will get the same problem.
Compare to Anticipation	In superstitious he correlates the things which were formerly responsible for his problem. If a patient has eaten sour thing last night and gets the problem next day he immediately relates it to sour things he ate last night In "Fear superstitious" a patient visits a doctor when he has no problem at that moment. He visits just because of fear in his mind. His fear is about the circumstances responsible for his ailment in the past. He approaches the Dr. with a baseless idea that in future when he will pass through the same circumstances he will suffer from the same problem. E.g "Last time during winters I had severe joint pains. This time I approached you before the arrival of winters. I have a fear that during the coming winters I may suffer from the same problem." In Anticipation a patient visits a Dr. when he has a few symptoms which are enough to correlate to the ailment he suffered in the past

A few days back somebody suggested me to visit a temple and offer milk to the God. I did it. D: Do you believe in such things? P: Yes, I believe in God. I pray to the God and ask him to please get me rid of this problem. D: What else have you done for your problem? P: I have tried many treatments but nothing helped me. Instead the problem has increased. I am fed up with this. In fact I have no desire to take the medicine. I have become so depressed that I think it better to ignore D: Now what made you come here for the treatment? P: I had left all hopes. One of my friends visited me yesterday.
