Hi Lucia,
yes of course! As there are secondary conflicts, like when the symptoms of a process become a new stressor on another level, there are secondary dis-eases. You look at the whole pattern how to resolve it. 
Often we would address the most immediate symptoms first, to break the vicious cycle. That's where also medication might be necessary, to calm and ease. 
Sometimes this will be enough to let the primary process heal out. 
But when the primary issue hasn't been resolved yet, and is in recurring mode, it needs to be dealt with. By that, the cause for more secondary conflicts is taken away.
