Occasional self-medication has always been part of normal living. The making and selling of

drugs has a long history and is closely linked, like medical practice itself, with belief in magic. Only during the last hundred years or so has the development of scientific techniques made it possible for some of the causes of symptoms to be understood; so that more accurate diagnosis has become possible. The doctor is now able to follow up the correct diagnosis of many illnesses with specific treatment of their causes. In many other illnesses, of which the causes remain unknown, he is still limited, like an unqualified prescriber, to the treatment of symptoms. The doctor is trained to decide when to treat symptoms only and when to attack the cause: this is the essential difference between medical prescribing(開處方) and self-medication.

The advance of technology has brought about much progress in some fields of medicine, including the development of scientific drug therapy(療法). In many countries public health organization is improving, and people’s nutritional standards have risen. Parallel with such beneficial trends are two which have bad effects. One is the use of high pressure advertising by the pharmaceutical(制藥的) industry, which has tended to influence both patients and doctors and has led to the over-use of drugs generally. The other is the emergence of the sedentary(靜止的) society with its faulty ways of life: lack of exercise, over-eating, unsuitable eating, insufficient sleep, too much smoking and drinking. People with disorders arising from faulty habits such as these, as well as from unhappy human relationships, often resort(采取) to self-medication and so add the taking of pharmaceuticals to the list. Advertisers go to great lengths to catch this market.
