Accessing mental health tools and resources not only can positively impact the course of treatment, but can also improve overall quality of life and health outcomes.
A diagnosis of cancer can be overwhelming. Anxiety, depression, isolation, and fear are just a few of the impacts felt by patients and their loved ones across the cancer continuum.
Talking about mental health and emotional wellness with healthcare professionals is a vital part of comprehensive cancer care. Mental health support, tools and resources can positively impact the course of treatment and improve quality of life and health outcomes.
Talk About It: Cancer and Mental Health elevates the important intersection of mental health and cancer care. It helps to normalize conversations, provides links to resources and brings the cancer community together to better support all people impacted by cancer.
Cancer is personal and each journey is unique. At BeiGene, we want to hear directly from cancer patients and caregivers about their experiences so we can learn and elevate our collective voices.
