Abstract

Motivation is an essential part of medicine. The best of medication will have no benefit if the patient is not motivated to accept or adhere to prescribed therapy. Motivational therapeutics, therefore, becomes an integral part of every patient-physician interaction. This is especially true in chronic disease management.

Keywords: Chronic disease, diabetes, motivation, obesity, person centred care, psychology, psychosocial aspects
