Featured Presenter:
Andy Esch, MD, MBA
Webinar Description:
If you or a loved one are living with a serious illness like cancer, COPD, heart disease or others, you likely know the feelings of anxiety and depression. You may assume that it’s normal to feel sad or worried when you’re sick. While it is normal to have days when you feel blue, something is wrong if these symptoms don’t go away, if you’re having trouble eating or sleeping, or if you’re not enjoying things the way you normally do. Palliative care can help by treating the symptoms and stress of your illness – including anxiety and depression. Palliative care is available at any stage of your illness and the sooner you get it, the better.
