Chronic Pain, whether mental or physical, has a devastating affect on both the individual and the family unit.
Jobs are lost, putting a financial strain on the family; the sufferer is no longer able to socialise and loses work colleagues and friends; the days find them exhausted from the fight with their condition; they lose their self-esteem, confidence and the all important self-worth. In short, they become isolated and depressed.
