Living with neutropenia, especially chronic or severe forms, can be emotionally taxing. The constant worry about infections can lead to anxiety and depression.

Mental health support is crucial. Counseling and support groups can provide coping strategies. Open communication with healthcare providers about emotional well-being is essential.

Stress management techniques like mindfulness and relaxation exercises can be beneficial. Building a support network of family, friends, and other patients can provide emotional and practical support.

Healthcare providers should address the psychological aspects of neutropenia. Regular screening for mental health issues and referrals to mental health professionals can improve quality of life. (10)
