Regaining control: The power of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT) in managing chronic dizzinessRecurrent or persistent instability and dizziness are worrisome conditions that can lead to loss of confidence, fear of falls, and social isolation. Simple activities like crossing the road or going up on an escalator involving body movement and looking at moving things can aggravate the unsteadiness.
The balance system within the inner ear and its connections to the brain and different body parts are responsible for stabilizing the body. Many inner ear disorders can lead to vertigo, such as BPPV, where crystals are dislodged, or viral infections of the balance nerve (vestibular neuritis). Some people continue to feel unsteady even after the primary cause of dizziness has been controlled.
