psycho-oncological therapies

Psycho-oncological therapies are specialized mental health treatments designed to support individuals coping with cancer. They address emotional challenges like anxiety, depression, fear, and uncertainty caused by diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. These therapies include counseling, psychotherapy, support groups, and stress management techniques, helping patients process emotions, improve resilience, and maintain quality of life. They also assist families and caregivers in managing their own emotional responses. Overall, psycho-oncological care integrates psychological support with medical treatment to enhance overall well-being during the cancer journey.
