The Importance of Mental Well-being for Cancer Patients Feat Dr. Suresh Advani

Mental well-being is crucial for cancer patients. A cancer diagnosis can lead to significant psychological distress, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Mental health issues can impact a patient’s ability to cope with cancer, adhere to treatment plans, and manage symptoms.

A strong social support system, counseling, and mindfulness-based therapies can help reduce psychological distress and improve quality of life for cancer patients. Additionally, mental well-being can impact immune function and may play a role in cancer prevention and treatment outcomes. Therefore, it’s essential to prioritise mental health as a part of comprehensive cancer care.
