How to Feel Better Within
Feeling physically ill when the real problem is emotional is a genuine woe for many people: up to a third of those who visit a GP may have a psychosomatic illness. Consultant neurologist Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan has written many case studies on this topic and in It's All in Your Head she encourages us to look deep inside to ease our own pains. Chaired by Ruth Wishart.
Part of our
Staying Well series of events.
