Living with a chronic condition isn't just a physical battle; it’s a mental one, too. We discuss the critical role of mental health support and why it should be a standard part of every treatment plan.</p><p>We also dive deep into a major gap in the healthcare system: the diagnostic challenges women face. From being dismissed by doctors to waiting years longer than men for an accurate diagnosis, we explore why the female experience with AxSpA is often misunderstood and what needs to change.</p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>Disclaimer: This episode is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice.
