Mental Health: Mental Health overview

Although PoTS is a recognised physical condition, for some, the strains of living with it can also affect  mental health, in the same way that any longterm health condition can.

People with PoTS are often told that their symptoms are “all in their head”. It can therefore be hard to accept that psychological support can be useful – but for some people it can really help you to manage the frightening symptoms that can be associated with having PoTS, and to deal with the long-term psychological toll of having a chronic health condition.
