Associated Conditions of Cerebral Palsy: Depression
|
|
In any setting, conditions such as drooling and lack of bladder or bowel control can cause embarrassment and feelings of inadequacy. An individual with cerebral palsy might face predicaments that are quite troublesome.
It is important for children with any debilitating condition to develop a healthy attitude toward themselves. It is important that children with cerebral palsy have access to a counselor (someone other than a parent or primary care giver). They can speak freely about what's troubling them and get the guidance and emotional tools they need to get and keep a healthy self-image. A healthy attitude can be hard to maintain. It is not at all uncommon for individuals with cerebral palsy to experience depression.
Any child or young adult can suffer depression, but the extra difficulties that a child with cerebral palsy faces can increase the likelihood of developing depression. Home | Cerebral Palsy Causes | Cerebral Palsy Forms | Cerebral Palsy Conditions |
