Mental Health and Its Effect on Cancer Patients and Their Families

Cancer is hard for the body. It is also hard for the mind. Patients and their families can feel fear, sadness, anger and tiredness. These feelings are normal. But they can get very heavy when nobody helps. This paper is a simple look at how cancer can change the way people feel, and how psychological support can help. I write about patients and about family members. I also write about what psychologists and psychiatrists do.
