In the first episode of Season 3, we are joined by a courageous group of guests that includes people living with pulmonary fibrosis, a care partner, and specialized healthcare providers to explore the mental health impact of the disease. The discussion explores the impact of receiving a pulmonary fibrosis diagnosis and the ongoing challenges of living with the disease. Our guests share the mental and emotional challenges they face, as well as helpful tips on how to cope, where to find support and how they continue to find hope.
How to understand, navigate and live with the mental health challenges posed by Pulmonary Fibrosis
Being diagnosed with a rare disease can often leave people with more questions than answers. This is especially true for those living with the rare lung condition, pulmonary fibrosis. In an effort to build and give a voice to this courageous community, we bring you ‘Journeys through pulmonary fibrosis’ – a podcast series aimed at bringing together the inspirational people living with this condition, their carers, and the researchers and doctors working tirelessly to support them. As we travel through their patient journeys, we hear heart-warming stories of determination, resilience and the importance of using these experiences to truly live life to the full.
