2. *Medication management*: Psychiatrists prescribe and manage medications to help manage symptoms like depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
3. *Pain management*: Psychiatrists can help with pain management by prescribing medications or alternative therapies.
4. *Collaboration with oncology team*: Psychiatrists work with the oncology team to ensure comprehensive care.
Psychologist:
1. *Counseling and therapy*: Psychologists provide individual, group, or family therapy to help patients cope with cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.
2. *Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)*: Psychologists use CBT to help patients manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances.
3. *Distress screening and management*: Psychologists screen for distress and develop strategies to manage it.
4. *Support groups*: Psychologists lead support groups for patients and caregivers.
5. *Neuropsychological assessment*: Psychologists assess cognitive function and develop strategies to manage cognitive changes.
6. *Research and education*: Psychologists contribute to research and educate patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals about psychological aspects of cancer care.
Shared roles:
