Who Would Have Thought Mental Health Can Be Affected By Your Bladder?
One of the often missed reasons for people having mental health illness, is often overlooked, – physical illness.
For example, living with a physical condition such as bladder or bowel problems can take a toll on your mental health too. It’s important to maintain a healthy body and mind to successfully manage the condition.
Now the Bladder and Bowel Community website provides information and support for those suffering mental health issues as a result of what is extremely impacting on everyday life.
Recognising the toll such conditions can take on mental health, the resource offers expert advice on maintaining both physical and emotional wellbeing. From managing daily routines to addressing often-overlooked topics such as emotional wellbeing and sexual relationships, the hub aims to empower individuals to live full and happy lives.
The support extends to practical guidance on staying active, maintaining a healthy diet, and coping with the emotional strain of a long-term condition. Users will also find information on how bladder and bowel issues can affect mental health, and where to turn for professional help when needed.
In the website’s specific mental health advice section, visitors will find a number of pages for the different topics and levels of support necessary for those with bladder or bowel conditions to live a full and happy life.
They’ll find advice and support for often lesser-talked about, but no less important, issues such as dealing with your emotions, and how to negotiate sexual relationships with a bladder or bowel condition.
The Bladder and Bowel Community website states:
‘We offer advice on managing your mental health such as how to stay active with a health condition and manage your diet.
