Ep #28: Cancer PTSD is Real: How to Cope with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Many people diagnosed with cancer also experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and for some, this persists and sometimes worsens with time, even after successful cancer treatment. PTSD is most often associated with traumatic events such as war, sexual and physical attacks, natural
disasters, and serious accidents. But people with cancer may experience it too. According to a recent study, nearly 1 in 4 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer experienced PTSD symptoms which persisted for years.
