Irritable bowel syndrome : navigating your way to recovery / Dr Megan Arroll and Professor Christine Dancey ; with a foreword by Douglas A. Drossman, MD ; and a preamble by Cecilia Håkanson, RN PhD.

IBS is an invisible disease - sufferers battle on pretending nothing is wrong and hiding their embarrassing symptoms. And it isn't life-threatening - so why would anyone take it seriously? Yet it can seriously restrict how we live, work and play. Based on their experience as both sufferers and health specialists, Dr Arroll and Professor Dancey provide the latest guidance on the causes, diagnosis and treatment, including the hugely significant part played by stress.

Coping with the psychological effects of illness : strategies to manage anxiety and depression / Dr Fran Smith, Dr Carina Eriksen and Professor Robert Bor.

Sudden, severe ill health comes as a shock and presents several challenges, most notably, loss of confidence. Suddenly people are afraid to take exercise, have sex or even go to the shops. Their entire self-image takes a battering, and this roller-coaster of uncertainty often leads to anxiety and depression. This book looks at the learning curve involved in sudden and chronic illness, and explores key ways to build psychological resilience during this time of challenge.

How to feel better / Dr Frances Goodhart and Lucy Atkins.

In days gone by, people understood that a knock to your health takes its toll on your emotions, your relationships, your morale, your 'spirit'. But these days, we think that if the doctor has waved you off, then you are 'better'. We neglect what scientific studies show is a vital element of recovery: the emotional side of getting better. As a result, many of us struggle with hidden issues such as depression, stress and anxiety long after a health crisis. This book centres on the crucial, research-based truth that 'getting better' is not just about the body - emotions play a huge part.
