Wellbeing

The medical profession has a vital role in enhancing the health and wellbeing of individuals with energy limiting conditions. By actively listening to and believing patients, and valuing their lived experiences, healthcare providers can offer respectful and effective care that truly meets their needs. This approach fosters a supportive environment and promotes better health outcomes.

Research shows that poor healthcare has a harmful impact on the mental health and wider wellbeing of people with energy limiting conditions (Disbelief and Disregard: Gendered Experiences of Healthcare for People with Energy Limiting Conditions).

There is information about the Five Ways to Wellbeing on Connect to Support.

Everyone needs to find balance in their lives to achieve wellbeing, but for those with an energy limiting condition, where do they go to think about general wellness, exercise and building good habits? Every-One have produced a podcast, hosted on Podbean, about Finding balance in your wellbeing.

Additionally, there are lots of services that may be able to help you. They can be found on the Connect to Support website.
