Description

Living well with a chronic illness is one of the most challenging experiences one can have. This guide to managing both the emotional and physical aspects of chronic illness, from adapting to a diagnosis to how symptoms and the side-effects impact upon mood and perception, is written by a health psychologist in consultation with patient groups and the patients of a range of conditions. Covering self-management of pain, fatigue, stress and lifestyle changes, the book provides an accessible resource that will enable patients and carers to better understand the psychological challenges of chronic illness, and how they can meet these challenges to live more active and fulfilling lives.
