Living a happy life is in our own hands. Even though we suffer from diseases and ailments<br />
that may or may not be cured, living a quality life or not is in our own hands. One such<br />
ailment we will speak about <strong>to</strong>day is movement disorders, which involves an involuntary<br />
movement of the muscles of the body. Although this ailment is a disturbing one, which may<br />
have the patient feel helpless and ashamed in front of others, it is important that one feels<br />
positive and deals with the ailment with patience. Negativity and the feeling of shame will<br />
only do harm <strong>to</strong> the mind and body, which may then lead <strong>to</strong> depression.<br />
To lead a happy life even after suffering from a movement disorder, it is important <strong>to</strong><br />
change your lifestyle and your attitude <strong>to</strong>wards life, after you have learned about your<br />
ailment. Every type of movement disorder presents its own unique challenges. So, the first<br />
thing you are supposed <strong>to</strong> do is take practical action and directly counteract the challenge<br />
associated with your particular disorder. Here is all that you must do.<br />
Increase your sense of control<br />
No doc<strong>to</strong>r can heal you until you are confident and active in the treatment process. Do not<br />
put the responsibility of your wellness over others. Educate yourself about what your<br />
illness is about, find out the ways you can control and treat it, and start actively taking up<br />
steps for the same.<br />
Keep yourself comfortable
One of the most important things about combating a movement disorder is <strong>to</strong> stay fit and<br />
keep you comfortable. Get yourself well-rested and well-fed. Sleep well, eat a well-balanced<br />
diet and get the right kind of exercise, therapy, and medication after consulting a<br />
professional movement disorders specialist in Bangalore like <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Shivam</strong> <strong>Mittal</strong>. And, if<br />
you feel that you are having symp<strong>to</strong>ms of depression and anxiety, seek treatment and<br />
consultation. If not done at the earliest, it will highly affect the quality of your life.<br />
Develop a sense of identity<br />
Don’t feel inferior because an illness has struck you! You are still the same person you were<br />
before this happened. So, don’t lose your identity. Keep it intact. In fact, develop a more<br />
complex identity by pursuing your interests that you have long forgotten. Start identifying<br />
new interests in music, arts, or anything that can keep you busy and make you happy. You<br />
could also consider professional counseling if you need any kind of help.<br />
Build positive relationships<br />
When a disorder strikes, not only the individual but all those around him are affected.<br />
While there are many who will start getting negative about you, there will be others who<br />
will support you. You need <strong>to</strong> stay in the company of those who love you and are willing <strong>to</strong><br />
support you, no matter what. Confronting an illness requires support and positivity from<br />
all those around you. Sharing your vulnerabilities and fear with those you love, and yet<br />
getting all the support from them, can help you build positivity within yourself. You can<br />
also start participating in support groups and online chat rooms with people who are<br />
suffering from the same illness. This will not have you feeling left out.<br />
