Anxiety and Depression Linked to Chronic Pain​

Anxiety and depression significantly impact people’s lives. When anxiety and depression occur alongside chronic pain the impact can be even greater. This presentation will provide you with a greater understanding of the interaction between our mood and our pain, as well as provide a range of practical strategies to manage our anxiety and depression more effectively. Strategies will include managing worry and uncertainty, feeling flat and unmotivated, and how to engage more effectively in life.
