Currently there is a trend towards the use of alternative forms of medicine. However, at best these methods are ineffective, and at worst they may be dangerous.

In the past, home remedies were considered the best way to cure a disease.

However

,

this

is not the case with present mindset, as the technology has advanced in hundred folds over the past few years, these days people look for

substitues

put in the place of another; switch seemingly equivalent items

for

medicine

This

as cost cutting and cons

such

as wrong prescription. I totally disagree with

this

advancement and still feel consulting doctors and getting the right medication holds a better chance to cure problems. Medication is often replaced with methods

such

as yoga, gym and so on.

However

, these methods could refresh and relax your soul, but not solve the entire problem.

Nonetheless

, it could be discontinued by an individual which could show side effects in the future.

Thus

, a person’s life is at risk by taking

such

severe unprescribed steps. Taking Indian youth

percent

of teenagers hit the gym in order to develop rigid body. But, once

this

is discontinued, they gain tremendous weight and

also

get into depression. Another problem observed in

current generation

Suggestion

the current generation

is depression. Often people surf online or try isolating themselves to keep them happy.

Nevertheless

, they take self medication and go through cost free methods assuming it is a less severe disease.

This

is a huge mistake people commit. Mental disease is quite subtle, which is why, it needs continuous monitoring and the right set of procedures to be followed. To conclude, medication is a proven method which is tested in
