Hello visitor! Thank you for taking the time to read this article.
The ebook eczema Gone points out that eczema affects more than 15 million people in North America. Because it is symptomised by red, cracked or peeling, scaly skin, the disease tends to make the sufferer unattractive.This causes many patients to have some emotional distress from the disease.
This emotional distress can take many forms and its severity can be linked to other events in the sufferer's life. Can you imagine the distress if a flare up occurs just before a wedding, a graduation or even a first date? The stress of normal life events can trigger flare ups which in turn add more stress. All of this can lead to depression. So, as Eczema Gone says, the key to preventing this is to take charge of your life and control stress especially when you cannot control events.
The reaction of others to the disease can sometimes be less than helpful. If someone is hesitant to be close to you or touch you, remember that it is not you they fear but the possibility of contagion. They may not know what disease you have and whether or not it is contagious.
To combat the emotional stress of the condition, Eczema Gone recommends a number of techniques. First of all learn all you can about eczema. Understand what is known about the condition and what possible treatments may be on the horizon for it. This can change your attitude from one of defeat to one of hope. Secondly share your knowledge with those close to
you so that they understand and lose any fear they may have. They can also teach others about the condition so that colleagues and acquaintances can give the support you need during flare ups.
Everyone in your circle needs to know that eczema is a combination of genetics and other factors, including food allergies, that can act as triggers. They need to know that it is not contagious in any way!
Eczema Gone recommends joining a support group specifically for eczema or at least one for people with skin diseases. The psychological effects of having skin diseases can be very similar, and a support group allows for the sharing of feelings and techniques to help handle the stress.
Do you need a psychiatrist? If your depression is chronic, a psychiatrist can be helpful.He or she may need to prescribe medication to help you deal with it. Even if your depression is intermittent, the services of a doctor may be helpful if, for example, you have a job or career that does not allow for any lapse in concentration or judgement. However, it should be said that learning how to deal with your feelings is better than medicating them.
It is important to recognize and deal with stress. It is a critical skill in reducing flare ups and other irritants in your daily life. Control eczema and it won't be able to control you!
