Myths & realities

Cancer and mental health: correcting preconceived ideas.

Myth No. 01

"Depression is weakness"

Depression during cancer is neither a lack of faith nor a lack of willpower. It is a documented reaction, and it can be treated.

Myth No. 02

"Psychological support is for the end"

It can help from the moment of diagnosis, not only in palliative care or when symptoms become severe.

Myth No. 03

"Relatives will cope"

Illness also affects those who support the patient. Dedicated support helps them endure, understand, and remain present.
