Chronic diseases are demanding processes of flexibility and defense. How the individual patient can deal with such diseases decides what place the disease will occupy in that individual patient's life. Thus in a holistic view even psychological conflicts should be treated. In many situations, these conflicts are not consciously experienced by the individual.
Psychological Conflicts in Ocular Inflammatory Disorders are mostly triggered by:
=> Lost vision or quality of vision in one eye.
=> Extreme fear of the same happening to the other eye.
It is important to understand that these conflicts lead to added stress levels which may contribute to trigger a new ocular attack. As learnt, experienced and practised by Dr. Mayur R. Moreker both treatment and rehabilitation programs in Ocular Inflammatory Disorders should include patient-education and also their family member's support with management and preventive measures including,
=> Simplifying medication regimens,
=> Lowering costs of treatment,
=> Patient education about the disease and the importance of treatment,
=> Pairing medication administration with specific daily activities.
Thus, knowledge of the psychological conflicts in the management of ocular inflammatory disorders and addressing them appropriately will help patients and clinicians ensure good patient-clinician relationship for long term compliance to treatment. .
Dr. Mayur R. Morekar understands this need to address the conflicting and distressing emotions; so often felt by ocular inflammation patients and thus addresses them specifically using his Counselling Psychology skills helping patients move ahead positively with their treatment.
He along with Mr. Amitkumar R. Vyas, Mr. Nivesh K. Tiwari and Dr. Shilpa R. Moreker have trained in various aspects of Counselling Psychology with Dr. Rajan B. Bhonsle and Dr. Minnu R. Bhonsle at the Heart to Heart Counselling Centre, Mumbai and have different special interests in Counselling Psychology.
