What does mental health really look like when you are living with arthritis?
In a new episode of Arthritis at Home, Kelly Lendvoy talks to Cheryl Koehn, President, Arthritis Consumer Experts about the emotional challenges of living with arthritis and the launch of JointHealth™ Education – Arthritis and Mental Health, covering important topics for people living with arthritis:
- What patients told us about the emotional toll of arthritis in ACE’s National Survey on Arthritis and Mental Health
- Why mental health is still not routinely discussed in appointments
- The two-way relationship between pain and mood
- How small, realistic steps can strengthen resilience
- Why asking for support is a sign of strength, not weakness
The new JointHealthTM Education online course was developed to help people living with arthritis better understand the connection between arthritis and mental health and to provide practical strategies to strengthen emotional well-being.
