Protecting Mental Health for Black Women with Breast Cancer
Dr. James emphasizes the importance of caring for the mind as gently as the body when healing from breast cancer.
In the Black community, health conversations have often been whispered, including those about breast cancer. However, a shift towards more open dialogue about physical and mental well-being has begun.
This change is crucial, as breast cancer disproportionately affects Black women. Women across generations are now raising awareness, seeking support, and creating safe spaces for healing.
Mental health is finally treated as an essential part of the conversation.
A recent study found that approximately 40% of Black breast cancer survivors reported significant anxiety, while 20% reported depression following their diagnosis.
Autor's summary: Black women prioritize mental health after breast cancer diagnosis.
