Chronic Illness and mental health

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of chronic illness on mental health with guest Naumika, a counselling psychologist.

This week, we have my friend Naumika again on the podcast! She's a counselling psychologist and we will be talking about Chronic Illness (NCD's) and Mental health! We will discuss how people with chronic illness are affected by their health struggles and how that impacts their mental health. Chronic illnesses can be very tough and hard to handle. It can become very exhausting because very few understand someone's struggle with a chronic health condition. We will dive into how suffering from chronic health conditions affects us and how we can take steps to take care of ourselves and take better care of each other who go through similar issues.
