The emotional effects of a breast cancer diagnosis can be life-changing. How can we cope with such varying emotions from fear, anxiety to depersonalisation and depression? 

In this episode, I have a fascinating conversation with Nazanin Derakhshan who is a professor of experimental psychopathology at Birkbeck University London. Her academic work involves looking at the cognition and emotional interactions in emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression.
Recently she has concentrated her work specifically investigating emotional vulnerability in those affected by breast cancer and developing ways to help increase resilience.

She shares the story of her own breast cancer diagnosis and the reasons that have motivated her work in this field. At the end of the episode, she shares some helpful and proven strategies that can reduce symptoms such as anxiety, fear and depression, to help achieve a balance in life after a breast cancer diagnosis.
