Illness and suffering are consequences of original sin and our personal sins. Orthodox therapy emphasises the necessity of healing, starting from an awareness of sins up to the remission of these sins by the Saviour, through the Holy Mystery of Confession. Besides this, in order to obtain salvation, the Mystery of Holy Unction is essential. In Orthodox therapy healing has a soteriological value; it refers to both soul and body, and the vision of illness and suffering has a positive significance connected to God's providence. It is regarded as an antidote against despair.
