Psychological impact of leukemia

Leukemia causes changes in daily life and may be accompanied by emotional upheaval, such as shock, anxiety, anger, sadness, various questions, and feelings of exhaustion.

These reactions can occur at different stages of the disease: at the time of diagnosis, during treatment, and even after remission, stabilization, or cure.

Why see a psychologist

A psychologist provides a listening space and offers support throughout your care journey. All reasons for consultation are valid.

  • Meeting with a psychologist can be challenging due to common misconceptions about the profession. However, it allows you to talk about yourself, your experiences with the changes caused by the illness, your fears, or any other concerns you may have.
  • This space gives you the opportunity to express what you cannot always share elsewhere, with the assurance of confidentiality.
  • Even if you are well supported by family or friends, you may want to speak with a professional.
  • A psychologist can help you communicate more easily with your family members (children, spouse, parents, etc.).
  • Your loved ones may also be affected and could benefit from a listening space. Depending on the needs, the psychologist can suggest additional guidance or support.

How to meet a psychologist

You can have a single session or multiple sessions, either during your hospital stay or in outpatient consultations.

Depending on your needs, psychotherapy may also be offered. The psychologist’s contact details are available within the department where you are being treated.

This psychological support is provided free of charge.
