Cystic Fibrosis Mutation
It is generally well accepted that the best possible health anyone
can achieve depends on the successful management of both physical and
psychological well-being. It is therefore important to be aware of
emotional as well as physical health maintenance.Emotional discomfort can occur in response to all sorts of
situations, and this can make life more difficult and less enjoyable.
Whilst emotional discomfort is experienced by everyone from time to
time, people living with a chronic illness such as CF can experience
additional stresses and strains in many areas of life which can impact
adversely on their psychological well-being. In turn, psychological
concerns can impact upon one’s physical health, such as through
behaviour (eg. not paying as much attention to our health when we feel
down) and through the effects of stress on the body.
