5. Have unrealistic positive expectations
A lot of patients tend to put all their hope and faith into the treatment and medications they are using. However, this may lead to false hopes and disappointment. It is best to approach any treatment with the kind of thinking that any improvement is going to be a success. Remember, using various treatments is one way to make progress.
6. Negative expectations that are unrealistic
On the other hand, trying all sorts of treatment without any success will accumulate negative expectations in you. You may lose hope and feel like you will never be better. These negative expectations will only discourage you from trying a new treatment which could possibly work for you. This can also lead to a reverse placebo effect – your treatment may not end up working since that is what you trained your mind to believe.
