Dealing with the emotional side of Acne
Acne is widely accepted,
as no longer, being a physical
problem. There can be deep
emotional issues that arise
from acne irrespective of
the severity of the condition.
Over the last 5 years or so,
doctors have started to look
at some of the more serious
psychological effects of acne.
Some of the most problematic
psychological effects of acne
include:
1. A feeling of lowered self-esteem
2. A reduction in self-confidence
3. Social withdrawal
4. Feelings of depression
5. Feelings of anger and aggression
6. Feelings of despair.
It is becoming increasing
common for one of these feelings
leading to another, and another
and so on, each new issue
re-enforcing the previous
in a vicious feedback loop,
concluding in feelings of
helplessness. Interestingly
the degree of impact is rarely
proportional to the extent
to which acne is present.
Sometimes a small number of
spots can cause lasting emotional
stress, in some individuals,
where as others may not be
affected at all.
The first important factor
to remember when you start
to feel the emotional stress
of acne is that these days
acne is much easier to treat
than it was maybe only 10
years ago. Having acne is
not a life-long sentence,
and there are an enormous
range of treatment options.
Do not suffer in silence,
go and see your Doctor, carry
out research on the internet,
talk to friends and family
that may have been through
similar experiences.
The second critical factor
is the simple acknowledgement,
and sharing how your acne
is making you feel. Do not
skip this element in your
discussion about treatments
with your doctor. The key
to recovery from the emotional
issues, starts with an acceptance
that there is more to acne
than the simple physical scars.
Speak to someone today about
how you feel.
The third critical factor
in addressing the impact of
acne, is deciding to get medical
help now, and sticking to
the treatment prescribed.
If the first treatment does
not work, go back and try
another and another, until
you get the right one. Be
sure to share with your Doctor
how your acne is affecting
your life, and ensure you
put across the seriousness
of the issue.
Both the physical and the
emotional side of acne can
now be very effectively treated,
as long as you are willing
to take some action, and act
on the advice you are given.
