Support Groups for NTM

Living with a nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection presents unique challenges. The symptoms, as well as the long course of treatment, can take a toll on a person's state of well being. Anxiety, depression, and fear of the future can all accompany a diagnosis of NTM and its treatment, so patients are often bewildered and lonely.

The good news is that you are not the first, nor the only, person who suffers from an NTM infection. In fact, there are lots of people who have had, or are still infected with, NTM that are involved in support groups to help each other. Becoming involved in a support group can help alleviate the fear and anxiety you may feel.
