Abstrakt: This comprehensive review article examines the complex overlap of affective disorders, psychoses, addictions, anxieties, post-traumatic stress disorder, and somatic symptom disorder in the context of cancer patients, and highlights the intricate interplay between psychiatric and oncological diagnoses. Based on extensive literature, it highlights the profound socioeconomic burdens that result from the coexistence of these disorders. The analysis includes the increased healthcare costs, impaired adherence to treatment, and reduced quality of life for individuals struggling with the co-occurrence of psychiatric and cancer-related problems. By synthesizing the available data through a narrative inquiry, the report aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the multiple socioeconomic challenges faced by this vulnerable patient population. The synthesis of information provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers alike. The aim is to promote the development of more effective and integrated care strategies tailored to the specific needs of people navigating the complicated environment of psychiatric and cancer diagnoses. Ultimately, this review should enable progress in the provision of holistic, patient-centered care for this complex intersection of health conditions.
