“The Perfect Storm” - Depression, Anxiety & Chronic Illness
Research has found the most people diagnosed with a chronic
illness experience a roller coaster of emotions as they are forced
to adjust to the new reality of their lives. Tonight we will focus on
depression and anxiety. The evening will include an explanation of
both depression and anxiety, including the signs and symptoms of
both and the role that medications can play. We will also discuss
the eight fears of chronic illness and the six emotional stages of
chronic illness. The evening will wrap up with a discussion of
coping skills that can help to adjust to the new reality.
Presented by: Beth Marolt, a Licensed Associate Marriage and
Family Therapist

How Chronic Illness Effects Family, Friends and Workplace
Relationships
How Lyme disease is affecting your relationships with your spouse,
significant other, children, relatives, friends, and co - workers. Do
you find it difficult to meet expectations of others who think you
look well when you feel so sick? A chronic illness can take on a
life of its’ own and can make it challenging to maintain
relationships and the expectations that were in place before illness
set in. During the many cycles and stages of chronic illness family
and friends are also affected and may end up needing their own
support. They are also adjusting to the new reality of chronic
illness and the changes that may occur including roles and
responsibilities. This will be an important discussion not only for
the patient, but for those they relate to.
