Description

Sudden, severe ill health can be a shocking and challenging experience, leading to a loss of confidence and a range of emotional difficulties. Anxiety and depression can follow as a result, making everyday activities feel overwhelming. This book offers a supportive and practical guide to building psychological resilience during times of uncertainty. Drawing on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques, it explores the common psychological issues that arise when health and routine are disrupted, and discusses the impact on relationships and family. The book provides self-help strategies to help cope with changed expectations of oneself and the related lifestyle changes. By exploring key ways to manage anxiety and depression, this book provides a valuable resource for anyone affected by sudden or chronic illness.
