It can be challenging to live with any long-term condition.
Receiving a diagnosis can evoke a range of feelings for people, including:
- Denial
- Worry
- Anger
- Guilt
- Sadness
Adjusting to life with a health condition is a process that can take time and effort, and making the necessary lifestyle changes to best manage the condition often requires a significant level of motivation and support from those around you.
Free support and advice is available (for patients registered with a GP practice in Swindon) through an NHS service: LIFT Psychology Swindon.
Referral
Patients can self-refer or arrange it through the LIFT Psychology Practitioner at their GP surgery.
