Can I get help for the emotional effects of Ménière’s disease?

Ménière’s disease can affect your mental wellbeing – if you’re not able to drive or work in the same way because of your symptoms, or you find symptoms such as hearing loss and tinnitus really affect your life.

If you’re not able to sleep well, or you worry about falling, or about losing your hearing over time, you can end up feeling low. Talk to your consultant about this – they’ll work with you to find the best ways to manage the condition so your symptoms are as under control as possible, and to support you through the emotional effects with therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and recommend support groups.
