Iatrogenic

Illness, disease, or imbalances created by medical or nonmedical treatment that were not present before treatment. In medicine the therapy is blamed (not the therapist) and changed to something else. In alternative medicine it may be called a "healing crisis" and deemed good for you. Beware: if the therapy makes you feel worse in a new way, it is almost always the wrong therapy.
