There are a number of psychological screening tools available online. While not specific to cancer, these tools can still help you identify whether you are struggling with low mood or anxiety as a result of cancer and its treatment.
You can use these tools to show your healthcare provider some of the psychological concerns you may have. Many cancer centres in Canada use distress screening tools to help identify if the cancer diagnosis and the cancer experience created anxiety and forms of depression. Talk to your healthcare professionals to access such screening tools.
