Dependence on a wheelchair can become an issue when an accident or illness happens that debilitates the individual from being able to walk without a walking aid. Initially, having to deal with such a drastic change can be very difficult. When this happens you will need to adjust your lifestyle accordingly.

While a wheelchair can provide a certain level of independence for individuals dealing with a disability, it can be very stressful having to make all of these changes immediately.

Negative Misconceptions

There is always a negative connotation when it comes to wheelchairs, but it doesn’t have to be such a negative experience to become a wheelchair user. It is all about perspective within one’s frame of mind, and the support of family and friends to get through the initial phase of using a wheelchair long-term.

Feelings of depression, grief, and deniability can become staples of a person who just learned they would be using a wheelchair for the rest of their lives. For broken emotional state, the best medicine is a sound support system around the individual.
