✨ On December 18, 2023, researchers published a study in Cancer, a journal of the American Cancer Society, evaluating the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of psilocybin-assisted group therapy to manage major depressive disorder (MDD) in cancer patients. Psilocybin has been explored as an alternative to traditional antidepressants in patients with treatment-resistant depression. This study adds additional insight into the potential applications of psilocybin by focusing on a smaller patient population. Beyond that, it focuses on managing cancer beyond the disease, addressing the associated mental health challenges. #PsilocybinTherapy #MentalHealthJourney #CancerPatients #GroupTherapy #MDDManagement #HolisticHealing #MentalWellness #TherapeuticJourney #EmbraceHealing #medicalwellness #healthcaredaily #healthcareupdates #usa #cathodehealthcare

Why 'It's Time to Move On' Can Hurt Cancer Survivors: Understanding Their Recovery Journey Understanding why telling cancer survivors 'It's time to move on' can be problematic. This phrase imposes unrealistic recovery expectations, dismisses ongoing challenges, and undermines emotional processing. Encouraging a supportive dialogue that respects the survivor's individual pace and the complexities of their recovery journey is more helpful and empathetic. Ask how you can support them and listen to their concerns genuinely. Did you learn something new?
