Abstract :

During the diagnosis and treatment stages, cancer patients may experience emotional and behavioral changes. This might express itself as a psychiatric condition as well as modest emotional signs and behaviors. Anxiety, sadness, adjustment disorders, and other mental diseases that are likely to be generated by medicine and general physical state are examples of psychiatric disorders. This review was conducted through searching the databases, up to 2021, May. It is also vital to address cancer patients’ quality of life and offer them with emotional and psychosocial support. Every change in this process should be thoroughly monitored by an expert; all forms of mental changes that impair adherence to the treatment process should be addressed promptly, and social and medical assistance should be evaluated.
