Introduction The social comprehension of health care service provision has changed a lot over the last couple of years. The most notable changes regarding health and illness are the classification of human conditions and experiences from being normal to medical conditions (Micah and Rich 45). Studies have established that no matter the people’s position regarding health care services they will always diffuse through various elements of human life. Medicalization is a contemporary medical subject that has completely changed people’s perceptions about life, medicine, as well as human conditions and experiences they considered ordinary (Best 123). The concept has had a huge impact in the medical realm, as studies show that medical practitioners consider it as an effective tool for increasing the rate of diagnosing various health conditions affecting people. Studies indicate physicians do not have much influence on the development of medicalization compared to patients, pharmaceutical industries, and policy cover providers (Best 126). In addition, the studies show that medicalization has a bright future. Research on improving its effectiveness is underway, meaning that there is room for innovation (Micah and Rich 51). This research paper will examine the concept of medicalization in terms of its meaning, growth, development, and benefits. The research will also provide examples of human conditions and experiences subject to medicalization. What is Medicalization? Medicalization refers to a cognitive process through which behavioural, poignant, or physiological human conditions get pathological classification for medical treatment (Conrad and Schneider 16). The concept of medicalization developed out of research on the causes, nature, and effects of diseases. Human conditions or experiences subject to medicalization undergo medical studies to establish their practicability to identification, deterrence and management. In addition, the process looks up for human conditions that result from body malfunctions. Some of the human conditions subjected to medicalization include sexual abuse, alcoholism, pregnancy, childbirth, obesity, and erectile dysfunction among others (Conrad and Schneider 22). Studies have shown that physicians often look up, and handle these problems. The main driving force behind the development of this concept is the ability to change people’s attitudes. A positive attitude towards biomedicine allows people to develop deeper knowledge about various human conditions and the best ways of managing them. Medicalization classifies human conditions or experiences as either a sickness or a disorder (Conrad and Schneider 31). As a psychological concept, medicalization identifies the impact that physicians, patients, and health care providers can have in managing the human conditions. It is important to manage the conditions as either illnesses or disorders because they do not compromise the identity of a society in terms of their attitude towards them, financial obligations, and improved provision of health care services (Conrad 100). In addition, the psychological application of this concept focuses on the impacts felt by people who suffer
