Is a chronic condition affecting your quality of life?
Anxiety
Anxiety greatly impacts emotional processing and stress management and, when excessive, can disrupt everyday life. Anxiety is linked to numerous health issues, including insomnia and depression. Factors like environmental stress, lifestyle shifts, or hormonal changes can trigger anxiety.
Anxiety can manifest in various ways, such as difficulty in concentrating, restlessness, and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed. These symptoms can, in turn, exacerbate other health issues, leading to a cycle that impacts both mental and physical health. It’s important to recognise these signs and understand that they are not a normal part of life; they are indicators that you might need professional help to manage your anxiety effectively.
If anxiety affects your daily routine, it’s crucial to consult a doctor. Your Natura doctor can listen and explore treatment options with you.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is any type of noticeable, unpleasant sensation in the body that lasts for a period greater than three months. Examples include arthritic pain, backpain, migraines and neuropathic pain with varying underlying causes. Consequently, the experience of chronic pain is unique to the individual, making it one of the most difficult and frustrating conditions to treat and live with.
While many other conditions have clear signs of when to see your doctor, individuals suffering with chronic pain often spend years coping with their condition without relief. In short, if the pain does not go away with the intervention of simple and commonly-used treatments, or is getting progressively worse, it is important to speak to a doctor. Chronic pain is usually diagnosed when it has persisted for a minimum of 3 to 6 months and treatment of the underlying cause shows little to no improvement.
Talk with a Natura doctor about your situation.
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms of PTSD can vary widely among individuals but generally fall into four main categories:
- re-experiencing the trauma through intrusive memories or flashbacks,
- avoidance of reminders of the event,
- negative changes in thought and mood associated with the event, and
- heightened states of arousal that weren’t present before the trauma
These symptoms may manifest as nightmares, severe anxiety, uncontrollable thoughts about the incident, emotional numbness, guilt or blame, and being easily startled or frightened.
Understanding PTSD is crucial for those experiencing it and their loved ones. Symptoms typically begin within three months of the traumatic incident, but in some cases, they may not appear until years after the event. These symptoms must last for more than a month and be severe enough to impact personal or professional life to be considered PTSD.
Recognising the signs of PTSD and seeking professional help is the first step towards recovery. Talk with a Natura doctor about your situation and options.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrial-like tissue grows outside of the uterus on other organs such as the ovaries. Depending on the severity the sufferer might experience intense pain or problems with the bladder or bowels.
While it is normal to have some pain during the menstrual cycle, continuous or intensifying pain, that persists despite painkillers, may be a sign to seek medical attention. The only way of diagnosing endometriosis definitively involves a laparoscopy, a minimally-invasive surgery where a small incision is made close to the navel and a camera inserted into the pelvis to examine the organs.
A conversation with a Natura doctor can help you understand your options.
