Abstract

Cancer diagnoses often lead to significant emotional and psychological distress, profoundly affecting patients' quality of life and treatment outcomes. This study explores the impact of psychological support on the well-being of cancer patients, focusing on interventions such as counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), support groups, and mindfulness-based practices. Study indicates that psychological support can alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and fear, while improving coping mechanisms, treatment adherence, and overall mental health. Furthermore, such interventions contribute to better communication with healthcare providers and enhanced resilience in facing the challenges of the disease. This abstract underscores the critical role of integrating psychological care into oncological treatment plans to foster holistic healing and improve patient outcomes.
