Blissful Mind organised a Mental Health Awareness Camp in a remote area where faith healers are dealing with the cases of Mental illness. People first go to them, got their problem worsened and then think of going to a psychiatric set up.
Faith healers are still dominating the field of Mental illness.Though, there is awareness in urban areas, still, they give it a try and expect the miracles to happen.
Faith healers attempt to do the treatment by claiming to be able to channel the power of God. Faith healers cause much more harm than good. The results of these treatments are at best a reduction in stress and short-lived placebo effects. At its worst, faith healing can even kill people.
Many faith healers are con artists that steal money from sick people. The more common harm of faith healers is that after a treatment, patients stop going to doctors or taking their medications. Some extreme religious leaders even ask their congregation to stop all medical treatments and give themselves over to God entirely as an act of faith that may persuade God to help them.
Faith healing is so intertwined with religion that this can be difficult to pry the two apart. It can be difficult to explain to a religious person that faith healing is garbage and the rest of their religious beliefs are valid.
I,in a structured way, explained to these unaware illetrate people about the supremacy of proven scientific methods of treatment over faith healing. To my surprise, they not only understood my concept but also raised questions.
I always say_ we need to light the candle instead of cursing the darkness..
