Is it normal for someone to love their disease and not want to be treated?

I wouldn't call it "loving" their diseases, by most people, anyway.

There may be long sufferers of chronic non or poorly treated illnesses who may "love" or welcome a final terminal disease that may finally release them from their long times of suffering.

Then there are truly psychological reasons for people to become accustomed to their maladies, chronic, excruciating or not, and so may resist being helped.
I'm a prime example of this in many areas of my life.
It's baffling.
Extremely so.
As much as I've studied the phenomena, explaining it in detail always escapes my memory.
There're tons of peer reviewed articles available online in regard to the subject.

I find it intriguing that a 20-year-old person is interested in this subject.
Of course, I know nothing of the person behind the name, so please beg my pardon
if I am intruding upon personal matters that may be none of my business.

May I inquire as to the reason this question was posed, either here or in private messaging?

It is a subject of intense personal interest to me, especially in recent months.

Cheers.

It is not normal but it is much more common than people realize. Consider the whole health system is not even based on cures, but on treating symptoms and then treating the symptoms caused by the pharmaceuticals given to them to treat the symptoms. I'd argue the fact a system like that is the most accepted strongly suggests many love their disease. But there is also a spirit of infirmity that comes from the kingdom of darkness that is also common (this needs to be cast out and treated through deliverance). Since most people only focus on things they can see, they are left vulnerable to such attacks.

I've seen people that tell me they don't love their disease, but they stop using treatments that actually work and return to Doctors that give them treatments that never work. They go to the Doctor for decades without any cures, but attack, avoid and disregard the person that has provided them with treatments that work. I know a person that has been going to the Doctor for decades. I said 'can you tell me a single thing you've been cured from?' they couldn't even tell me 1 simple thing! Disease becomes the identity of those who don't know who they are in Christ...

Nobody loves a disease. People have fears with coming to terms they have something and refuse to get help.

I used to try hard for people to trust me but I won't try anymore, move on to other questions and please increase your xper there.

[EmmaMary]

@humeyrahaktanir

Obviously you haven't noticed my xper level and number of points! lol

[HumeyraHaktanır]

Lol.. just move on

[EmmaMary]

I look forward to seeing your next question, and again possibly giving you an award of the day.

In the meantime, please do take care and stay safe.

Thank you for the MHO.

Depends on what disease it is. If you consider autism to be a disease, then the person with that disease could actually be blessed with a skill that not many people have due to the imbalance in their brain activity. Savants are blessed with superpowers basically

[DJB72]

It's called Munchausen's Syndrome. Not common but it happens.

And different from Munchausen's by Proxy where they make someone else sick to be seen as the selfless saviour or carer.

The extreme Left probably want to affirm them...

[DrPepper12]

Absolutely. It becomes their pity party identity while pathetically crying out "look at me". Its disgusting and weak.

[RedInnocent69]

Hmmm, that’s an odd one. I would say you come to respect it. It may empower/drive you, but I’m not sure who would ‘love’ it. Guess it depends what it is, really.

[paledreams]

I do hate my germs and I do hate my heights - all phobias :)

[paledreams]

I'd rather not have it any other way lol 😆😆😆

[JonCobretti]

I've seen someone like that in Dr. House series

[Danny_dan92]

It’s more accepting of it. But if it can be cured it’s kind of stupid to do this

[SunnyRS]

Depends on the disease dear.
sometimes people want a common disease to stay for a few more days so they can stay at home and rest.

[the29thhuman]

U can’t say it is or isn’t normal because individual people aren’t this or that.

[Anonymous]

You mean like elephantitus of the 🍆? 😆😆😆

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It's not normal

[DaBiggestBird]

No, that’s probably a symptom from said disease

[Staximus]

No, that means they have a problem.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

That's not normal. Those who do maybe suicidal

[msc545]

Very abnormal.

[Agape93]

Nope

[White_Swan_]

Never.

[In_Trance]

No it isn't
