The non-physical effects of bell's palsy to patients can vary depending on the person. Some common effects are a change in taste, loss of sense of smell, pain around the ear, and difficulty eating. The paralysis can also cause problems with a person's vision and hearing. In addition, people with bells palsy often have trouble closing their eyes, which can lead to eye problems such as infection or inflammation.
The condition can also cause psychological effects, such as anxiety and depression. While the physical effects of bells palsy can be debilitating, the non-physical effects can be just as challenging to deal with. Thankfully, there are treatments available that can help improve a person's quality of life. With the right support, people with bells palsy can live normal, fulfilling lives.
