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 JointHealth™ 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.
