Cancer and mental health support
How to Get Help
If you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, or if you are becoming anxious or depressed, it is important to get help. Different people can help you find support, such as:
- your healthcare team at the hospital
- your GP
- online self-help services
- local charities and organisations that offer counselling
- private clinics offering therapy services.
If you have private health insurance, it may cover the cost of mental health support.
