How does anxiety influence pain? And some strategies to manage it
There is more and more evidence supporting the notion that our mental and physical health and wellbeing are very closely linked. When you are diagnosed with a chronic rheumatic condition, it is normal to experience a degree of worry related to your health and what the future might hold. Anxiety and depression can also be common, and if poorly managed can impact how you experience pain. We’re looking forward to facilitating our first discussion on mental health as part of BJC Connect!
During our live online event special guest Psychologist Lorraine Corne will aim to cover:
- How does mental health impact our physical wellbeing?
- What is anxiety? An overview
- How does anxiety impact how we experience pain?
- Some practical strategies to help you manage anxiety
- When might I consider getting help for my mental health?
Attend our live virtual event 8pm Wednesday 14th September
Like all of our events, we will welcome questions and discussion so we can all hear and learn from each other.
