There are many ways we can support anyone affected by a brain tumour, their family, friends and carers.
A brain tumour diagnosis and its treatment can often impact the mental health of both the patient and family members. It is common to feel low mood, anxiety and worry.
Low mood may mean feeling down and finding it harder to do your daily activities, or finding less joy in doing them. It can be helpful to make small changes, like getting out in nature or doing things that you enjoy.
If your low mood does not lift, this may be a sign of depression. Depression and anxiety are not a sign of weakness and are commonly a direct result of a major life event.
They may manifest in a range of ways including feelings of unease, unable to control thoughts, continuous low mood, feeling tearful and irritable, lack of interest or motivation, neglecting hobbies, isolating from others, getting angry, losing energy and appetite and suicidal thoughts.
