Being confronted with a medical condition can result in emotional and psychological distress. This in turn can lead to depression, anxiety and unhealthy coping strategies such as stress eating, over-reliance on pain medication and excessive alcohol consumption. Health psychologists strive to reduce that distress by helping patients manage their diagnoses, as well as the side effects of treatment. Whether your goal is to cope with an acute or chronic illness, manage your pain, quit smoking or improve your quality of life, the experts at AMITA Health Medical Group Health Psychology Elk Grove Village are there to support you. Our services cover every point along the continuum of your illness, from adjusting to your diagnosis to managing treatment side effects to supporting ongoing recovery once your treatment ends. Your personalized treatment plan might incorporate one-on-one counseling, biofeedback and similar relaxation therapy treatments, family sessions and more.
