Choosing PsychotherapyLong ago I wrote an article titled "You
don't have to be crazy to see a therapist:
but sometimes you have to be crazy not
to." (long winded, as always.) My
stance is that everyone with a chronic
illness ought to consider a Mental health
"check-in." Listen, we can't
get people to take a 10 day course of
antibiotics.how can we expect people with
diabetes to follow through their whole
lives? I see mental health appointments
as preventive Mental health specialists may include social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, coaches, addiction specialists or a combination. It is important they are licensed, not afraid to work with your health care team, and a good communicator with you. Consider specialists who deal with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy as those are two effective ways to deal with the problems and situations of diabetes. Consider support groups that focus on diabetes or chronic illness.
