Dear friends and supporters,
as a professional nurse, and someone who has also worked as a teacher in primary school environments I have encountered women and families who have had to experience the enormity of a pseudocyesis. My personal experiences of meeting people who have been through such a traumatic experience has affected me greatly and ultimately prompted me to research the condition for my Masters study.
In researching the condition I was profoundly struck by how little support and knowledge there was out there in the public domain, which could prove both helpful and comforting to people who were experiencing something so life-effecting.
Having completed my research in 2014, I naturally wanted to publish that research so that it may become helpful by contributing to the collected knowledge of pseudocyesis and be comforting to those affected by pseudocyesis, as it would stand as proof that clinicians are researching the condition and attempting to combat the condition on behalf of those who have been affected by it.
It was with this in mind that The Pseudocyesis Foundation was born. An organisation set-up to act as a help-point where information and understanding people could be accessed. It is our goal to reassure those who may feel isolated and alone that there are people out there that care and who advocate for them by campaigning for further clinical research into pseudocyesis.
Please help us help those who have had their lives affected by this much misunderstood condition and who may be finding it hard to communicate their feelings and their pain. Your support is much appreciated and provides those affected with a greater chance of making a holistic recovery.
With many thanks in advance for your ongoing trust and support.
Yours gratefully,
R.P. Walsh BA PGCE RNMH MSc
Company Founder and Director.
