Even though I have Crohns disease, what can I do to feel better emotionally?
Although Crohn’s disease is a physical illness, the emotional aspects of this disease can affect a person’s sense of well-being. And while evidence has shown that stress and emotional upset do not cause Crohn’s disease, they can have an impact on the severity of its symptoms. There are some things that you can do to cope with your disease and emotionally feel better, including accepting the fact that you have your disease, continuing your daily routine as much as possible, following your gastroenterologist’s suggestions and instructions, maintaining a positive attitude and outlook on life, and seeing a therapist if you feel one is needed.
