Cause Of Cystic Fibrosis
Many individuals with chronic illness or disease are likely to
experience emotional problems such as depression or anxiety. In many
cases the nature of the chronic illness is the underlying cause of mood
disorders. Poor physical health can lead to psychological distress, and
vice versa. Determining the course of treatment is these cases requires
that the patient and diagnosing physician work together to find a
solution that address both the chronic illness and the distressing
psychological issues in tandem.In the case of cystic fibrosis
(CF) patients, psychological function has been assesed, but with
varying results. The medical community at large is still working to
better understand the link between the biological and psychological
aspects of how patients with CF cope in the face of an ever-progressing
disease. Some studies suggest that as patients with CF age, the
likelihood of emotional disturbance increase. This is possibly due to
patients being forced to break new ground in world that had been
previously explored by relatively few cystic fibrosis adults.
