Today is World Mental Health Day, an international day for mental health awareness and education. We invited Dr Xu Lin, a professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, to share her insights on providing holistic care and addressing patients' physical and mental health needs.
It is important for doctors and family members to understand a patient's psychological needs, as it can help improve their treatment experience, Xu told CGTN.
It is understandable that patients may feel they are losing control of their lives because of the disruptions brought on by illness. Xu emphasized that building a strong support system at home and focusing on small, manageable goals can help patients and families cope with long-term conditions more effectively.
