Absolutely: Start with a good psychodiagnostic evaluation with a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist familiar with working with people who have medical or other disabilities. If there is depression, it is usually treatable - combination of therapy and meds may often be better than either alone, depending on severity. For more see: http://cpancf.Com/chronic_pain.Asp.

Yes: It is very difficult to adjust to disability. A therapist can help you through. I work with many patients with disabilities and refocusing on the abilities you have and on rehabilitation is the best thing to do. Best of luck.

Sure: A counselor, therapist, clinical social worker, psychologist, pastoral counselor, primary care doctor or psychiatrist are just a few options.
