Investigating the mental health of women with breast cancer

Mental health or mental health means the presence of psychological well-being or the absence of mental illness. A state of mental health refers to someone whose functioning is "at an acceptable level of emotional and behavioral regulation." From the point of view of psychology, mental health includes a person's ability to enjoy life and create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health includes "mental well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, empowerment, intergenerational dependence, and self-actualization of one's intellectual and emotional abilities, as well as others." Cultural differences, subjective assessments, and various expert theories all influence how "mental health" is defined. Good mental health can improve quality of life, while poor mental health can make it worse. In general, the stages of diagnosis and treatment of any chronic disease can be the source of social and psychological pressures. Breast cancer is one of the most common chronic medical diseases that affects almost every ۱۰ women during their lifetime. Therefore, women with breast cancer are among a group of patients who are exposed to various social and psychological pressures. Approximately ۲۵-۵۰% of women with breast cancer experience repeated stress-related problems. They have to deal with things like how to treat others (answering their questions and concerns about the disease), the shock of the diagnosis and its associated consequences (eg death, loneliness, pain) and worry about the results of the treatment. Physical appearance, changes in functions and social roles of some women have caused a decrease in health and eventually death. Most women experience temporary or long-term psychological distress after being diagnosed with breast cancer. These disorders include negative emotions, depression, anxiety, anger, anger, fear, sadness, and also behaviors such as withdrawing from social activities and loneliness, cutting off relationships with family, friends, and acquaintances. Psychological adjustment and quality of life among breast cancer survivors are not the same. However, most people who recover show an abundance of experiences of psychological distress, disruption of thoughts, feelings and thoughts, general numbness and withdrawal from new situations and ideas.
