A cancer diagnosis can profoundly affect a person’s life and impact their overall mental health.
Roughly a third of all cancer patients also have a behavioral health issue, such as anxiety, depression, or a substance use disorder, according to research published in Translational Psychiatry. As a result, more payers and providers are looking for ways to support oncology patients behavioral health needs better.
