The Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Emotional Well-Being in Head and Neck Cancer Patients
September 9, 2025 - 07:12
Patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer often face significant emotional challenges, including anxiety and depression. A recent systematic review highlights the impact of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on these patients' mental health and overall quality of life.
The review synthesizes findings from various studies, demonstrating that CBT can effectively reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression among individuals undergoing treatment for head and neck cancer. By employing techniques that help patients reframe negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies, CBT provides essential support during a challenging time.
The emotional toll of cancer treatment can lead to a decline in quality of life, but the implementation of CBT has shown promising results in enhancing patients' psychological resilience. As healthcare providers continue to seek comprehensive approaches to cancer care, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy into treatment plans may offer significant benefits for those affected by head and neck cancer, fostering improved mental well-being and a better overall experience during their journey.
