Overcome fears, insecurity, and depression with a professional friend
Mental Wellness
The cancer journey for a patient can be a lonely one despite the care from family, nurses and doctors. During this journey a patient often needs an independent and objective guide or coach to get through the treatment process and prepare for life during and after treatment.
At Sammprada Hospital we have a keen interest in helping our patients go through the cancer treatment journey with mental poise, emotional strength and social dignity.
We therefore recognise the role of counselling in helping a patient overcome fear, insecurity, and depression along with a professional help provided by the psycho oncologist.
With the right guidance and counselling patients and their caregivers can go through the process with confidence and positivity. Research shows that positive beliefs, gratitude and optimism can quicken the recovery process and make the treatment more effective. Psychology professionals are trained to untie deep rooted issues that become sources of stress and anxiety in our minds. Getting help to identify and eliminate these issues therefore becomes an important part of the cancer treatment journey.
The treatment journey itself is accompanied with side-effects that impact overall emotional health which needs equal care and nurturing. We recognize that holistic healing requires an integrative approach which has a place for tools and exercises to uplift our patient’s energies and give equal emphasis on these at our hospital. If the mainstream chemotherapy or radiation therapy is accompanied with well designed programs that address these issues the patients can go through the journey with much more confidence.
We have our cultural heritage which has given us tools such as yoga, pranayama, and dhyana which can greatly enhance a patient’s fight against cancer.
