To mark Mental Health Awareness Week (13-19th May), episode 11 of Sepsis Voices with Dr Ron delves into the often-unseen mental health impact of sepsis with two remarkable guests, Taz Hoesli and Naj Devgun.
Tune in to this empowering episode for an enlightening discussion on mental health, resilience, and the journey to healing.
The guests:
- Recount their sepsis stories
- Share the profound mental toll of prolonged hospital stays, including the onset of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Talk about how not being able to move their bodies in the same way post-sepsis affected their mental health
- Share how Functional Neurological Disorder affected them (Naj)
- Talk about how hair loss affected their self-esteem (Taz)
- Discuss how their support networks and professional interventions helped in their recovery journeys - including UKST's support services
- Share why it was important to them to be open about the challenges they have faced with others on social media and their personal circles
Dr Ron concludes by reminding listeners of the UK Sepsis Trust’s free support services, which include 1:1 calls with a support nurse; online and face-to-face support groups, and Facebook support & connect groups for sepsis survivors or the bereaved.
