When it comes to dating and starting a new romantic relationship, people who live with rare and serious diseases face some unique questions. When is the right time to tell that special person about my condition? And how do you bring the topic up to a potential romantic partner?
On a new episode of the World of Promise podcast, host Anthony Farina sat down with two experts to talk about this topic. Joining Anthony was Dr. Nancy Irwin, a Los Angeles-based clinical psychologist and author who has appeared on television shows such as “The Doctors” and “Anderson Live” with Anderson Cooper. Also participating in the conversation was Dr. Craig K. Svensson, dean emeritus of the Purdue University College of Pharmacy and author of “When There Is No Cure: How to Thrive While Living with the Pain and Suffering of Chronic Illness.”
