🌍 Today on #WorldOstomyDay, we’re raising awareness of the diverse realities of living with a #stoma.
For some in our #IBD community, it’s life-saving, liberating, and brings relief. For others, it can feel overwhelming, isolating, or a reminder of what’s been lost. 💜

Survey reveals persistent challenges of IBS on daily life and productivity
Despite social media helping to increase awareness of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) among the public (81% of health care providers agree) and advancements in treatment over the past decade, IBS symptoms continue to significantly impact patients' daily lives and productivity, according to a new survey released by the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), in partnership with The Harris Po

We're a small group & perhaps not so well known about. I see the calls to 'integrate mental health support into physical health' & I get it & support it. I'm just saying we are here👋 And aiming for HOLISTIC care for all, with access to specialist care for those who need it, is a good way to go. /end

For example, people overwhelmed by T1 Diabetes, or distress about IBD or cancer, or stigma in HIV. There are so many examples. We dont typically see these as 'mental health problems'. They are human reactions to coping with a health condition, & our input is just another part of holistic care. (2/3)

We are psychologists who work in physical health contexts. We aim to support more holistic, multidisciplinary care for all patients, & to work with individual people & couples with the psychological impact of having a health condition. (1/3)

As a psychologist working in chronic conditions, I see all the time how a person may know what they SHOULD do, but that does not equate to what they do do. This is normal- people are not robots
Telling people what to do does not work. It just unhelpfully & unrealistically puts blame on individuals.
