Psychiatry for Cancer Patients

Living with cancer can stir up a wide range of emotions. You might feel overwhelmed to the point of panic, or so sad that treatment feels impossible. Anger, irritability, and difficulty coping with pain, fatigue, or nausea are common. Some people feel guilty, hopeless, or find themselves constantly thinking about cancer and what lies ahead. Even activities that once brought joy may feel distant.

These feelings are valid—and you don’t have to face them alone.

At St. Luke’s Cancer Institute, our psychiatric care team is here to walk alongside you. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, sleep problems, mood changes, or the emotional impact of physical changes, we offer compassionate care tailored to your needs. That might include counseling, medication management, or simply helping you find ways to communicate more openly with your loved ones.

We’re here to help you feel more grounded, more supported, and more at peace as you move through your cancer journey.
