Can thyroid cancer patients control their emotions?

Some thyroid cancer patients cannot control their emotions, some can, and some cannot. First of all, it depends on the condition of the thyroid cancer patient. If the condition is serious and thyroid crisis occurs, which is life-threatening, then the patient cannot control his emotions. If the condition is mild and the treatment effect is good, the patient can live like a normal person.

1. Situations where you cannot control your emotions:

Thyroid cancer patients may experience mood swings due to physical discomfort caused by the disease, or due to poor treatment results, disease progression, anxiety, depression, etc.

2. Situations where you can control your emotions:

1. Relax: If thyroid cancer patients receive radioactive iodine treatment, endocrine therapy, etc., which leads to excessive secretion of thyroid hormones, the body will produce irritability, tension and other emotions. In this case, you can talk to family and friends and listen to some soothing music to relieve negative emotions;

2. Divert attention: You can divert attention by watching movies or playing games, temporarily forget unhappy things, and thus control your emotions;

3. Psychological consultation: Long-term depression and excessive mental burden may aggravate the condition and even lead to relapse. In this case, you need to find a professional psychologist to guide and treat it, such as psychological consultation, learning flower arrangement, etc.

Patients with thyroid cancer should adjust their mentality, face life optimistically, and actively accept treatment. They should eat a light, nutritious, and easy-to-digest diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and avoid smoking and drinking. They should exercise appropriately, get enough sleep, and combine work and rest.
