Thread: Does being aware of your condition (especially if it is psychological) help...

...you to deal with it better? Or does it aggravate your condition?
For example, a person who has depression and is aware about it or the doctor told him about it, would become more depressed or less?

It can also be applied to physical diseases.

It depends on the person's personality I suppose - whether they see this as a terrible disease and oh woe is them, or if they understand that since now you know what it is you can fix it.
