Psychosocial oncology focuses on addressing the psychological and emotional needs of cancer patients and their families, recognizing that a cancer diagnosis affects more than just the body. The mental and emotional impact can be profound, with patients often experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, and fear of the unknown. Psychosocial oncology provides a range of support services such as counseling, psychological therapies, and peer support groups, helping individuals cope with the stress and emotional turmoil of cancer treatment. This field emphasizes the importance of communication, not only between healthcare providers and patients but also among family members, fostering a supportive environment. By tackling the emotional challenges alongside the physical aspects of cancer care, psychosocial oncology aims to improve the overall well-being of patients, helping them maintain hope, resilience, and a sense of control during their journey.
