One of the things #breastcancer can affect is body image - which could further lead to #anxiety and #depression.
#PalliativeCare will help with this also.

Happy World Hospice & Palliative Care Day!
We celebrate our HMDCB-certified hospice physicians whose leadership, compassion, and commitment help ensure high-quality care for patients and families facing serious illness. Thank you for the difference you make every day.
On World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, I’m reminded what a privilege it is to care for people living with serious illness. Our strength is our interdisciplinary team. No one profession can do this alone. Together, we relieve suffering, honor what matters, and improve lives. 💜

Blue light from phones, tablets, and other screens may make it harder to get a good night's sleep. Are blue light glasses the solution?

An article published in the Journal of Palliative Medicine offers ten practical tips for palliative care clinicians on strengthening collaboration with consultation-liaison (CL) psychiatry across inpatient and outpatient settings. The two disciplines frequently care for the same patients—people with serious illness who also experience psychiatric and psychological complexity, neuropsychiatric syndromes, and difficult medical decisions—yet structured collaboration between them remains variable. Written by an interdisciplinary group of palliative care and CL psychiatry clinicians, the tips cover models of collaboration, shared biopsychosocial-spiritual formulation, care of people with serious mental illness, psychotropic management, diagnostic clarification, psychosocial and behavioral interventions, and collaboration around high-stakes medical decisions. ow.ly/pAjk50ZTJM2

Kindness goes a long way in #delirium.
Check whether your patient needs reassurance, and provide it.
