A psychologist assesses, diagnoses, and treats mental health issues. Following a motor vehicle collision, fire, or other accident you may require psychological care to deal with the trauma or consequences of the event and resultant injuries.
Injuries can trigger depression, feelings of loss and fear. Following motor vehicle crashes, some people experience a disabling fear of driving. If you are experiencing any of these issues, a psychologist may be able to help you regain your sense of well-being and independence.
Some psychologists specialize in the management of pain. Psychological factors including mood and coping styles contribute to an individual’s ability to adjust to chronic pain. When pain persists, an individual may unknowingly contribute to the ongoing pain cycle. Psychologists can help injured people make psychological changes to better cope with the pain.
If you are suffering from chronic pain, a psychologist may be able to offer you pain management therapy.
