It\u2019s extremely stressful not to know when you\u2019re going to have to stop the car, sit down, take a day off from work or activities or however else this condition ruins your life.<\/p>\n
A study recently published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research,<\/em> reveals one quick thing you can do to stop vertigo and dizziness from affecting your life so negatively.<\/p>\n It\u2019s something you can do right now and doesn\u2019t cost a dime.<\/p>\n Many studies have shown that people who suffer from vertigo are substantially more likely than the general population to suffer from depression, anxiety and somatization.<\/p>\n This study wanted to find out which people were handicapped the most by their vertigo: <\/p>\n – those with depression, By the way, somatization is a condition in which people with psychological disorders experience those disorders as physical symptoms, like anxiety presenting as nausea or pain without there being an underlying physiological condition that gives rise to the nausea or pain.<\/p>\n They recruited 111 patients with vertigo and measured their vertigo-related disability at the beginning of the study and after a period of 12 months.<\/p>\n They also measured their depression, anxiety, and somatization.<\/p>\n All three psychological problems caused the vertigo-related handicap to be worse than in those who experienced no psychological distress. Depression had by far the strongest aggravating effect.<\/p>\n To put it simply, those who worried the most about their vertigo were also the most limited by their disease. And this had nothing to do with the level of their condition.<\/p>\n So, if you can pep yourself up and focus on the positive things, your vertigo may not get better but the limitations it puts on your life will be less.<\/p>\n
