Coping and support

By Mayo Clinic staff

Support groups can be valuable in dealing with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. They bring together people who are coping with the same kinds of challenges, along with their family and friends. Support groups provide a setting in which people can share their common problems and provide ongoing support to one another.

Ask your doctor about support groups in your community. Your local health department, public library, telephone book and the Internet also may be good sources to find a support group in your area.
