This manuscript investigates the efficacy of laughter therapy and positive thinking as complementary treatments for individuals with chronic diseases in Lebanon, amidst an ongoing economic crisis. Chronic diseases are a significant public health issue globally and in Lebanon, where the economic situation exacerbates healthcare challenges. Traditional biomedical treatments, while essential, are becoming increasingly costly, highlighting the need for cost-effective, alternative therapeutic approaches. Through qualitative methodology, including semi-structured interviews with a medical doctor and a clinical psychologist, and a case study of a Lebanese woman with a ruptured disk, this study explores the mental, physical, and economic impacts of laughter therapy and positive thinking. Findings suggest these therapies can enhance psychological well-being, manage symptoms, and potentially reduce healthcare costs, offering a holistic approach to chronic disease management. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating these complementary therapies into standard medical care, proposing a promising avenue for improving the lives of individuals with chronic diseases in Lebanon and beyond.
