Emotional Adjustment

The diagnosis of Retinitis Pigmentosa can caused a strong emotional response in a person and their family members.  A grieving period may occur in which someone may experience the emotions of shock, anger, denial, withdrawal and depression.  It's important to understand these emotions and confront them as part of the adjustment process.
