Book Description

A practising GP has ten brief minutes to tell you everything you need to know about the disease he or she has just diagnosed. Sometimes it takes people half that time just to take their coat off. Research has shown that most people remember only one or two things said to them in a consultation. At a time of an ever aging population, and an increasing burden of arthritis, means an increasing need for reliable information. This book by a GP covers all aspects of arthritis, from common everyday aches and pains, to rarer forms of the disease. The book aims to help those with arthritis understand a little more about their disease, how they can help themselves, and what treatments are on offer. It also looks at some future developments in the treatment of arthritis.

Book Description

The death of a parent brings a special kind of grief. When a parent dies, we lose a unique connection with our roots, our past, our identity and our childhood - and we are forced to confront our own mortality. Often the practicalities of bereavement take over, leaving us unable to focus on the complex realities of this loss, or platitudes and easy answers are proferred, distracting us from the grieving process. The work of grief, in fact, can take years and may change our view of life profoundly. Losing a Parent looks at how we may find meaning in what has happened. It covers both terminal illness and sudden death, helps you to navigate feelings of abandonment, and to understand the new family dynamics after loss. It will show you how, where and when to seek further support and offer you the reassurance you need to actually get on with your life after this difficult and painful time.

Book Description

'This book offers real hope' David Stockdale, CEO, British Tinnitus Association Tinnitus can be a difficult and distressing condition to manage, and many people with tinnitus are currently left to fend for themselves. Misophonia is an increasingly recognized, and equally distressing, condition which is likewise often overlooked by the medical profession, despite the acute anxiety it generates in those experiencing it. However, prospects for recovery have never been better, based on recent advances in psychology, auditory neuroscience and medicine. Because tinnitus, hyperacusis and misophonia present very differently and idiosyncratically from individual to individual, self-help techniques can often be effective in minimizing the distress caused by these disorders, which can range from lack of sleep and irritability, to loss of concentration and confidence. The latest edition of Living with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis looks at strategies for living with tinnitus, hyperacusis and misophonia, and includes a complete programme for recovery. It features the latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience and medicine to offer a full overview of the causes, impact, and most effective treatments available. It has practical advice on relaxation and sound therapy as well as insights into relieving the stress of auditory conditions.

If you are living with, are close to, or are yourself someone who is hoarding, you'll know that the disorder goes far deeper than most people realise, affecting the whole family and presenting huge challenges to the physical, mental, emotional and even financial wellbeing of anyone involved.
