Manage episode 421840974 series 3488211
IG Live – May 22nd: The DPC Education Center’s Health Care Consultant, Dr. Scantlebury, went Live on Instagram this month to talk about all things kidneys. She talks about mental health and some of the challenges both dialysis and transplant patients face while on their kidney journey, some of the resources available on the DPC Education Center's website, as well as the importance of still having a primary care doctor as a kidney patient, and many other kidney-related topics.
Even though mental health can be difficult to talk about, it’s so important to call attention to it and try to destigmatize it. Dr. Scantlebury discusses some of the unique circumstances dialysis and transplant patients face and highlights some resources available for help. One of those resources is the DPC Education Center, which has tons of information available on everything from nutrition and exercise to support groups to local state-based resources. Dr. Scantlebury also discusses the importance of having a primary care doctor as a kidney patient, in order to make sure you are also taking care of your general health. Additionally, a primary care doctor can also be an excellent referral source for a mental health professional.
Give us a listen to hear all this and more important information for living well with kidney disease. If you have your own questions you’d like to have the doctor answer, tune in for our Live events on both Instagram and Facebook:
- IG Live @patientcitizens the first Wednesday of each month, 12:30pm EST
