People with chronic medical illnesses such as cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, chronic pain, lupus, or cystic fibrosis may be at increased risk for experiencing depression and anxiety compared to their healthy peers. At the Health Psychology Center of New York, we draw from evidence-based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help patients pursue full and meaningful lives despite chronic illness.
