What is Physical Disability?
A physical disability is a condition that significantly limits one or more major life activities due to physical impairments. These disabilities can be congenital or acquired through injury, illness, or aging.
How it Negatively Affects Your Life:
Physical disabilities can lead to challenges in mobility, self-care, and participation in social and recreational activities. Individuals may experience frustration, isolation, and dependence on others for daily tasks. Physical disabilities often contribute to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety due to the loss of independence and societal stigma.
How Treatment Helps:
Psychological support for individuals with physical disabilities includes counseling to address emotional and mental health concerns. Therapy helps individuals develop coping strategies, improve self-esteem, and adapt to their physical limitations. Rehabilitation services, including physical and occupational therapy, enhance mobility and independence. Support groups provide a sense of community and shared experiences, promoting overall well-being and integration into society.
