Living with a chronic illness can take a toll not only on your body but also on your mental health. Many people in San Diego face both physical conditions and emotional struggles like anxiety, depression, or even PTSD. Fortunately, there are specialized therapy options available that address both challenges through integrated mental health care.
Why Mental Health Support Matters for Chronic Illness
When dealing with a long-term medical condition, it’s common to experience emotional strain, fatigue, or feelings of isolation. Conditions like cancer, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and chronic pain often come with overwhelming stress that affects your mood and daily life.
At Quality Time Institute, we offer personalized support for people coping with chronic illness and co-occurring mental health issues in San Diego.
