Cancer treatment can have profound effects on a patient's mental health, including:
- Anxiety and Depression: The stress of diagnosis and the rigors of treatment can lead to mental health challenges. - Cognitive Changes: Often referred to as "chemo brain," patients may experience difficulties with memory, concentration, and cognitive function. - Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The entire cancer journey, from diagnosis to treatment, can be traumatic and may result in PTSD.
