What Causes Peripheral Neuropathy? |
While stress and mental health are often not considered direct causes of peripheral neuropathy, they definitely play a complex role in the condition's experience and development. Here's how: Exacerbation: Stress hormones like cortisol can worsen existing nerve damage by increasing inflammation and reducing blood flow. This can amplify pain and discomfort in individuals already suffering from neuropathy. Contributing factors: Chronic stress can indirectly contribute to neuropathy by fueling underlying risk factors like diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and poor sleep patterns. High blood sugar in diabetes directly damages nerves, while autoimmune disorders can attack nerve tissue. Poor sleep disrupts nerve repair processes, impacting recovery. Psychological impact: The experience of neuropathy itself can have a significant impact on mental health. The chronic pain, numbness, and weakness can lead to anxiety, depression, and decreased quality of life. This adds an extra layer of burden to managing the physical symptoms. These key impacts are the reason we consider stress and mental health to be an important Diagnostic Class for peripheral neuropathy! |
