Invisible Illness: Coping with Misunderstood Conditions by Megan A. Arroll & Christine P. Dancy
Requirements: ePUB Reader | 1.34 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: Few books on invisible illness are written by psychologists. Based on work by the Chronic Illness Research Team (CIRT) at the University of East London, this expert, accessible book encourages people actively to manage their illness using the techniques shown.
This is an accessible and easy to read book for anyone affected by, or with an interest in, invisible illnesses. With no outward symptoms, invisible illnesses are often complex and misunderstood. They affect a great number of people and, for those who live with one of these conditions, they can be extremely debilitating and distressing; especially if their condition is not recognised or accepted.
At the Ménière’s Society, we speak to people daily who have an invisible illness, ‘I look fine on the outside, so how do I explain to someone that I’m not?’ They want to know how to cope with their condition, to feel they are living a ‘normal’ life and know that they are not alone in their experience. These questions and anxieties are common to all invisible conditions and are addressed herein. As well as Ménière’s disease, this book covers irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), migraine, fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), chronic fatigue syndrome/ myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) and mal de débarquement syndrome (MdDS).
