Chronic Pain or Illness Dallas and Fort Worth
Chronic pain and chronic illness can be debilitating and feel draining and hopeless. People often struggle with not knowing when or if their pain or illness will ever get better or heal completely. This can lead down a road of hopelessness and despair.
Many of those that struggle with this type of pain or illness end up with depression and/or anxiety because nothing has worked, and they may have not found a way to cope with the current struggles and the fear of what lies ahead.
These types of mental issues can increase the pain or make the illness worse which leads to a downward spiral. Sufferers often feel alone in their struggle leading to isolation when a support system is imperative.

that add to the challenges one is already facing. Outside activity may be limited, adjusting to physical limitations can be difficult, and financial struggles may ensue from inability to work and medical expenses.
Social functioning may also be a challenge because of the pain or other limitations experienced. All of these added together leads to those suffering to have an up to fifteen percent more likelihood of developing anxiety and depression.
