Are You Struggling With Chronic Disease and Illness Management?

Home » Areas of Specialty » Chronic Illness » Page 118

For individuals experiencing chronic diseases, mental health issues may arise throughout their illness. Getting the diagnosis of a chronic illness can be devastating, confusing, and scary.

Available Treatment Options

Therapist interventions take many forms for patients dealing with chronic diseases. Counseling can include support groups, where people can interact with others going through the same thing. It also may include psychoeducation, where therapists help people learn more about anxiety, depression, or another mental health issue they may be experiencing. And traditional talk therapy is an option where counselors engage with patients and help them work through emotions.

People with chronic diseases may experience daily pain or discomfort, leading to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Counseling for chronic disease management addresses each person’s unique situation and considers the details of their experience. Techniques therapists could use include mindfulness practices to manage anxiety and pain, examining thought processes that may be unhelpful to mental health and physical recovery, or family therapy to help the family process the changes.

I share the idea that at our core we all yearn for connection and a sense of meaning. Not having those human needs met is agonizing because, by definition, a need (versus a want) is something we cannot do without. We might not accept we have these needs, or we might not even be aware of them. However, we all occasionally grasp how essential they are to us when we burst into tears during a silly...
