Abstract

Therapeutic patient education (TPE) is the foundation of chronic disease management. TPE is a therapeutic intervention in
itself, and is also an adjuvant to pharmacological therapy and lifestyle modification. Backed by evidence and experience,
TPE has been shown to improve glycemic control, quality of life, and overall health. This article highlights the need to focus
on TPE as a major facet of overall therapy. “Euphrodasiac patient education” can offer treatment through thoughts, and
wellness through words. If we are able to inculcate this in chronic care, we should be able to kick start a virtuous cycle of
euphoria, or happiness, in the health care ecosystem.
