Mental Health Screenings: An Essential Part of Cancer Care

The Importance of Integrated Mental Health Services

Doctors and researchers are advocating for the inclusion of mental health screenings as part of standard cancer care. The integration of mental health services into cancer treatment has been demonstrated to be highly beneficial.

Benefits of Mental Health Support

Despite advancements in cancer treatment, the oncology community must remain vigilant in providing mental health support to patients. Cancer can be an overwhelming and emotionally challenging experience, and it is crucial that patients receive the necessary assistance to cope.

Addressing the Psychological Impact

"Cancer is intense, but you don't have to go through it alone."

As a psychiatrist, I work with patients to navigate the psychological complexities of cancer. I provide support, coping mechanisms, and help them connect with resources that can enhance their well-being throughout their journey.
