How should patients with bone cancer who are depressed choose their diet

Studies have shown that about 66% of cancer patients suffer from depression, 10% suffer from neurasthenia, and 8% suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder. This is especially true for bone cancer patients. Due to uncertainty about treatment and the fact that some doctors often order amputations on patients, patients may show psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, mental confusion, and anorexia due to excessive psychological fear and pressure.

Modern research believes that negative emotional changes are "activators" of cancer, especially depression and anxiety, which are more likely to lead to the development of cancer, and can also cause the patient's immunity to decline, induce endocrine disorders, and greatly affect treatment. Therefore, efforts should be made to make the patient feel better.

Studies have shown that eating foods rich in vitamin B1 can help improve patients' mood and promote the relief of depressive symptoms. These foods include nuts, lilies, soy products, corn, meat, etc.; while eating foods rich in vitamin B6 can help improve mood and relieve depression. These foods include bananas, soy products, fish, animal liver, kidneys, etc.
