Mental health is the foundation for overall wellbeing, influencing how we think, feel, and navigate the world around us. Those experiencing serious or complex medical conditions often experience mental health struggles. Managing symptoms and navigating treatment can amplify anxiety. In this blog, we share how Summus supported Ann’s health journey, paving the way for a better quality of life.
Health Concern
Ann had struggled with gastrointestinal issues, migraines, anxiety, menstrual pain, skin issues, and unexplained dizziness and nausea, which had taken a toll on her quality of life for nearly a decade. Despite many attempts, provider visits, and tests she couldn’t get answers or relief. Frustrated, helpless, and in pain, Ann reached out to Summus for answers.
Thank you so much! The consultations were incredibly helpful and for the first time I feel like I’m getting my life back on track and finally feeling like my old self again.
—Ann, Summus Member
