Welcome to this YouTube presentation on navigating the emotional rollercoaster associated with psoriatic arthritis. In this insightful video, we delve into the profound emotional impact that accompanies a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis and the ongoing challenges individuals face as new limitations and symptoms emerge.
Psoriatic arthritis, a chronic autoimmune disease affecting both joints and skin, brings forth a myriad of emotions. From the initial shock and denial of the diagnosis to the frustration, sadness, and sense of loss that may accompany chronic pain and physical limitations, this condition can have a significant impact on mental well-being.
Drawing upon the renowned grief cycle proposed by psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, we explore the five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—and how they manifest in the context of psoriatic arthritis. It is important to note that these stages are not necessarily linear and can occur in different orders or repeat.
