Well.. I would not mention here any philosophical "disease" like greed or ego or something. I would not even mention any other medical disease, yet I would stick to the medical grounds. According to me, the worst disease a person can possibly have is a mental disease.
It's said that your attitude and state-of-mind makes you feel good and with a correct approach you can fight even the deadliest disease on earth, like cancer. Many people have battled with this demon and tasted triumph.
So in total what you need to heal is a healthy brain and a positive attitude, a spirit to get better and a self-encouraging set of thinking. But, what if things go wrong right up there where all of this charging has to be done.
When you are not feeling content with your own mind, how can you even manipulate it? Many times these diseases remain undiagnosed and with time they go worse, if not treated.
Mood disorders, depression, schizophrenia, paranoia, bipolar disorder, psychosis are just a few among them. People with such disorders feel helpless, puzzled, and stuck in their own black-holes of mood. Mood swings, hallucinations, delusions, despair, aggression are just a few of the feelings that a mental patient feels.
In most cases, patients do not even realise/accept their ailment. These diseases though are not clinically fatal like other ones, yet deaths due to mental ailment are quite high throughout the world, and the number is increasing every year.
These deaths are not directly due to the ailment, instead, the patient kills himself (commits suicide) due to the chaos created in mind.
Some patients even become homicidal. With a mental disease, the patient is not only the sufferer, the family equally suffers.
Due to the lack of awareness and sufficient knowledge, the patient is sometimes jeopardized by the family and mostly by society, which results in serious outcomes.
With proper treatment and medication regime, a mental patient can live a better life. But even this has got a lot of hurdles. The patient rejects the treatment in the first place.
If the patient gets ready, society makes the next stumbling stock. Mental diseases are usually stigmatized and visiting a psychiatrist is considered a taboo.
Especially here in India, you can't visit a psychiatrist as freely as a physician in order to avoid a disgusting and ridiculous tag given to a mental patient by society. So how can you get better if you don't even reach out for help.
That was my take on this topic. May be many people would not agree with my views. I have seen a cancer patient as well as a mental patient in my life and this answer is the conclusion.
