Your mental and physical health are also connected, meaning that one affects the other. People living with chronic (persistent or long-term) physical conditions are more likely to experience poor mental health than those who are well, and those who have poor mental health are at a higher risk of developing problems with their physical health. Prostate conditions including prostate enlargement, prostatitis and prostate cancer, and the treatments that are used to treat them, are no different.

For many men, the diagnosis of prostate cancer is a much greater source of distress than the symptoms of the disease, which often go unnoticed until the cancer is in its later stages. Men diagnosed with prostate cancer are at a higher risk of mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, than the general population1. An impact on mental health can occur for any man after a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Mental illness can persist or come and go throughout treatment and recovery as men adjust to their diagnosis, its management living with possible side effects. It is important to speak to your health care provider to obtain help if required. In September 2019, the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) released a position statement recommending that men be screened for distress following diagnosis. This screening should be undertaken by men at regular intervals throughout their treatment and afterwards. Men whose prostate cancer is managed using ‘active surveillance’ (which involves routine checking of their prostate cancer by their doctor) may feel distressed at the uncertainty of their condition, even if their doctor reassures that they are safe and well. It is important to know that your feelings about any prostate problems are valid. Feeling stressed, anxious or depressed when you are living with troubling symptoms is completely normal and you don’t need to feel guilty or ashamed to ask for support. In fact, asking for support, from your partner, a friend or your doctor, is the first step in the right direction to better health. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should consider speaking with your doctor to find out what to do next.
