Bognor Regis, Bristol, London, West Sussex I myself have a chronic pain condition and have done much research into these invisible illnesses and the lack of support that is available. It is hard to really understand how it feels to have these conditions unless you have experienced it yourself

Dr Ian Anderson
Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
My question is if you break your leg, where is the pain? Actually, it's in your mind. The nerve receptors around the injury send messages to your brain, and your brain sends out pain messages. I really do not mean this to be facile, but all pain is interpreted by the mind. Even though pain is a real physical event, competent psychological therapy can help you process pain in such a way that you can still live your life in the way you would wish.
