At Brian Barr we are a dedicated team who are passionate about helping our clients in a caring, understanding and professional manner. We pride ourselves in providing expert support and advice in your time of need and know that there is more to an amputation than a physical loss of limb.
An amputation often follows from a traumatic experience, especially if it was caused by an accident due to someone else’s negligence. Many amputees suffer from PTSD, which could include panic attacks and flashbacks during the day, or nightmares that affect the quality and quantity of their sleep, and it is important to get professional help for your mental health too.
About 30% of amputees are troubled by depression. Decreased self-esteem, distorted body image, flashbacks and PTSD, increased dependency, and social isolation are also common following an amputation.
It shouldn’t be forgotten that when a person loses a limb, the people who are close to them are also impacted. Relationships change and family members can struggle too, especially if they have to suddenly take on the role of primary caregiver. It is important for the whole family to get support from a mental health counsellor or professional.
