Why do people ask if something paranormal is going on when they have symtems of a medical condition?

  • I believe in the paranormal and all but I am seeing questions where the person should go to a doctor. I am not trying to be rude or disrespectful but just wondering.


  • People with mental illness are the last to recognize they have an actual problem, and the last to do anything about it.. :)


  • usually that's because the don't want to except that they have whatever ailment they have. you just need to encourage the person to seek medical attention


  • The paranormal is what is left when all scientific avenues have been explored and there is still no rational explanation.

    For all we know now what we see as paranormal has a scientific explanation, only we have not yet found out what that is. Those who grow up in secluded "Stone Age" societies may see an electric torch as magic, but we know the light comes from the energy in the batteries. Yet some people do appear to have senses with no obvious explanation and a few healers and some who practice alternative therapies are employed by hospitals. As the placebo effect has been known to affect medical conditions, then just suggesting that a person is being cured may work wonders as the body gets on with the job of healing itself.

    But all practitioners of alternative therapies should make sure that a person who is coming for treatment has been to a doctor for diagnosis and permission to use therapies first. Then there should be a form detailing medical conditions and a reference back to the doctor if there is any question about suitability. These precautions are taught on any course about alternative therapies and should be followed.

    As for going to the doctor with medical symptoms, that applies if anyone knows that they do have symptoms of a medical or psychological condition. Migraine can cause visual disturbances. Hearing voices seems to be fairly common, and may just be a person mistaking their own thoughts and feeings for an internal discussion, or a sign of a more serious condition. When in doubt ask.


  • im with you, that happens every day in this section.
    Usually they get mad and call you closed minded and such, and sometimes you even get a violation for telling them they need a doctor.
    I guess the responsible thing is to tell them the truth. However, you don't have the support of YA!, they think its a violation of TOS as its an "opposing opinion" and might be considered offensive.
    I just tell them and hope enough people say to see a doctor that i dont get a violation.


  • Some of them are probably in denial. Medical problems can be scary - those of us who wouldn't hesitate to drag a friend to the hospital if we saw they were in trouble won't do the same for ourselves. Cancer, hallucinations, mental disorders - all scary conditions. While many of the people in denial won't actually have them, and if they just went to the doctor their fears would be alleviated, some of them will find out the worst - and they'd like to prolong that as long as possible. So they seek out 'alternative' explanations and even cures - ghosts, gods, psychic powers, and alternative medicine. It's more comforting, and instead of playing the sick person at the hospital, they get to play the oppressed victim of skeptics and science in general.


  • My guess is that they would rather have some exotic cause for their problems, rather than anything as mundane as obesity, high cholesterol, or something caused by smoking or alcohol or drug abuse.

    If the "spirit world" is causing their problems, then they must be somehow special, to have such an exotic cause to their troubles. That's much more appealing than if they actually have to change some behavior like overeating or smoking, for example.


  • Delusional people exist.
