Cancer is a disease of the body and the mind.
News of a cancer diagnosis can impact an individual’s mental health, causing feelings of depression, anxiety, and fear of the unknown.
Tips to cope with mental health conditions when diagnosed with cancer:
🎗️Discuss feelings and fears with family, friends, or support groups.
🎗️Practice mindfulness through meditation or journaling.
🎗️Seek help from a professional.
🎗️Seek safe treatments for your mental health illness that won’t interfere with your cancer care.
"Studies show that those dealing with severe mental illness and substance use are more likely to have lower chances of survival after a cancer diagnosis."
