An increasing number of adults, especially in the United States, are dealing with chronic health conditions or disabilities. Living with a disability can significantly impact mental health. Adults with disabilities report frequent mental distress up to as much as five times more often as those without disabilities. Factors like social isolation, discrimination, and limited access to resources contribute to these challenges. Adults with disabilities are more likely to report depression and anxiety, reduced healthcare access, and health-related risk behaviors than adults without disabilities.
Depicted in this picture is an woman with a long term chronic illness mourning the memories of her childhood, when she was youthful, vivacious and free. The weight of the capabilities she had lost to her disease drowning her like a tidal wave.
This piece is an ode to my own deteriorating health, being diagnosed with Scleraderma (and a few other health issues) has altered my life, my mobility, my capabilities.
