Coping


←Back

How can a patient, as well as their family and friends, be helped with coping with sickle Cell Anemia?

Sickle cell patients and their families may need help in handling the economic and psychological stresses of coping with this serious chronic disease. Sickle cell centers and clinics can provide information and counseling on handling these problems.

Parents should try to learn as much about the disease as possible so that they can recognize early signs of complications and seek early treatment.
