Treatment control
There is very little that can be done to improve
my illness
*My treatment will be effective in curing my illness
*The negative effects of my illness can
be prevented (avoided) by my treatment
*My treatment can control my illness
*There is nothing which can help my condition
Illness Coherence
The symptoms of my condition are puzzling to me
My illness is a mystery to me
*I don’t understand my illness
*My illness doesn’t make any sense to me
*I have a clear picture or understanding
of my condition
