Paraplegia doesn’t just affect a person physically; it can also have an adverse effect on their mental wellbeing, especially when they’ve developed the condition only recently. This can lead to the individual alienating themselves from others.
Support groups for paraplegia help individuals with the condition on a psychological level by allowing them to discuss their feelings and talk about the new challenges they face daily. The most common cause of this condition is a serious spinal cord injury, which leads to the person becoming paralysed from the waist down.
