PSYCHOLOGICAL SEQUEL OF PHYSICAL DISABILITY

Society strives for a physical image and people who do not conform to what they believe it is expected by others, might lose confidence and even sense of belonging. If we add the physical dysfunction arising from the disability, the endpoint might be a prolonged depressive reaction.

This clinic provides people with physical disabilities the opportunity to explore the psychological issues which underpin their feelings, as well as prescribing medication if appropriate. In addition, other problems, like phantom pain arising from amputations can also be explored and treated.
