Psychological wellbeing and care for people living with Motor Neurone Disease (plwMND) and their carers: A guide for psychologists
Psychologists are integral multidisciplinary team members, and optimal care of plwMND and their carers requires sufficient knowledge of MND and the psychological and mental health considerations associated with holistic care.
Clinical guidelines recommend psychological care after diagnosis to assist plwMND and their carers to cope with the diagnosis, understand the disease, and accept and cope with a changed life and changes in relationships.
This practice guide aims to assist psychologists in identifying common mental health considerations in the management of plwMND and their carers. This knowledge will enable psychologists to adapt their practice to meet the needs of plwMND and their carers and positively impact their quality of life.
