Two false statements made in this paper:
This is somehow true because homeopathy is an alternative medicine and it can produce similar effects as if placebo is given. However, the diseases cause great āeconomic and social burdenāā¦ what? This is straight-out assuming that disabled people are a burden to the society and the economy. They must realize that there are companies in the economy that benefits by making treatments for disabled people.
Uhā¦ homeopathy is an alternative medicine, a pseudoscience. There is a lack of evidence to support this claim.

It shouldnāt be controversial that mental illness is a social and economic burden. Itās one of the leading causes of disability, and the treatment costs are staggering, but dwarfed in comparison to the lost incomes. It also places a large burden on families and loved ones. I get that you donāt want to be called a burden, but a disease is always a burden and it wonāt help anyone to pretend otherwise (especially not us).
I understand. I just donāt like it when a research or an academic paper assumes that everyone with a disability is a burden. An academic paper should not be prejudiced nor it should drift away from its original topic.
Iāve been just called a burden for the past 3 years of my neuromuscular disease and Iām often feeling very hurt by it. Words can be so deadlyā¦
Thank you for your opinion. I canāt deny the burden that we put on family members or the economyā¦ so Iām going to try harder. My disabilities canāt stop me, haha.

Maybe we are a burden on some and overall but others rely on us. Doctors, pharmacists, therapists, healthcare providers, etcā¦ would be out of job if not for us. No???
Then again itās mostly the govt and insurance companies paying those people cuz I sure as hell cant afford to pay for apripraZole and pdoc appointments and therapists out of pocket every month.
But the world goes round and operates in a system how it is?? And we are part of that???
As long as we are progressing and giving up then we have reason to feel guilty for creating a burden on others. Humans are made to rely on each other. It teaches us compassion and gratitude. The world will one day turn around so that those who were a burden become a huge asset. Have faith
Yes-it could definitely be called a burden . For me it depends then on how society approaches it as being a burden. The āYouāre at fault for those burdensā vs ā Itās a burden but youāre not in any way to blame for thoseā types of people.
If we describe āburdenā as someone in society who collects more then they paid then there are many burdens in society and I doubt the mentally ill rank very high on that list
Why are you guys upset over this? I donāt understand it. They called the diseases a burden, not the people who have them. Burden is a perfectly appropriate word to use in that context, and this is a regularly used phrasing that does not pass judgment in any way. There are many very valid reasons to be upset about how we are treated, but an innocent, regularly used term that many well-meaning researchers have used to describe our illness is not one of them.

Makes sense to me. My SZ is not that much of a burden these days, but my heart condition is. Nine emergency admissions this year and counting. All those tests and scans plus Iām getting a new pacer before Xmas. Iām grateful society helps bear the cost of this illness, it would have destroyed me financially.

That is no doubt true of clinicians,psychiatrists and psychologists etc. Iām a lot less sure that the general public are on the same wavelength .
