deterioration of a patient’s physical or emotional state unintentionally provoked by a medical professional. Diagnosis of iatrogenesis is carried out through clinical interviews and the use of questionnaires. It is important to consider that iatrogenesis is often concealed under the guise of “complications” or “individual reactions.” Treatment of iatrogenesis may be based on psychotherapy and supplemented with psychopharmacological correction. Psychologists help individuals affected by iatrogenic events process negative experiences, restore self-confidence, and build healthy relationships with physicians and other specialists.
