Relationships and Hydrocephalus
Share
Navigating relationships can be difficult - even more so when complicated by hydrocephalus, headaches and other complications. An area that is often neglected is how hydrocephalus affects the most important aspects of your life, and important connections in your life – work, school, family, friends, and romantic relationships. Hydrocephalus rarely affects just the patient. While you face the physical symptoms, the condition can put pressure on those closest to you. Communication and learning strategies to cope and maintain relationships is key.
