A cancer patient has to deal with a lot of emotions, such as the overwhelming fear and worry. Adrian Cristian, Physiatrist at Miami Cancer Institute, says about one out of every four people with cancer have depression and one out of every seven have anxiety.
He also explains a physiatrist will be sensitive to those issues and will make sure they have resources available to someone with the illness.
A woman with breast cancer can do rehabilitation and therapies that involve medications to deal with pain, but physiatrists have also a holistic approach involving chaplain services.
