Counselling for patients with neurological disorder, plays a crucial part in their overall recovery. Stroke specific counselling helps a person to talk about their sense of loss after their stroke and to encourage them through their rehabilitation.
ReAble’s comprehensive neuro rehabilitation approach involves a multidisciplinary treatment team comprised of specialists from disciplines including physiotherapy, psychology, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, speech & swallow therapy and nutrition. This comprehensive and collaborative approach has the advantage of facilitating co-management of symptoms.
Counselling and Neuro Rehabilitation
Psychological problems can be pre-existing or can manifest as a side-effect of a neurological problem. In any case, these problems have the potential to exacerbate a patient’s physical symptoms and compromise recovery and treatment.
The goal of neurological rehab is to help you return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving your overall quality of life — physically, emotionally, and socially.
Research has also established that treatment of secondary symptoms of depression may reduce functional impairment associated with the neuro diseases (like parkinson’s and stroke), restore autonomy, and promote treatment adherence.
Psychological Counseling for Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke can cause chemical changes in the brain that affect the way a person thinks, feels, and behaves.At the same time, stroke rehabilitation can be a long and difficult process.
Even after rehabilitation is complete, most stroke survivors will live with some minor to moderate disabilities. Coming to terms with these changes can be a daunting task and may need specialised psychological counselling.
