A Clifton, New Jersey-based psychologist, Dr. Samuelle Klein Von Reiche is known for her expertise in treating clinical depression. Via custom-tailored behavioral treatments, she provides her patients with the chance to free themselves of their negative and self-destructive thoughts and emotions.
Just like Dr. Samuelle Klein Von Reiche, many psychotherapists are doing their best to thwart stress and depression, mainly because they pose a great threat not only to people’s psychological health but to their overall well-being as well.
This is exemplified by the recent research published at PLOS ONE which revealed that symptoms of depression among a group of patients with late-stage renal cell carcinoma were associated with an increased risk of death. The culprit: cortisol, or the “stress hormone.”

As a psychologist, Dr. Klein Von Reiche truly listens to her patients to offer them with the most efficient way out of depression.
Lead researcher Lorenzo Cohen, professor of oncology and director of the Integrative Medicine Program at The University of Texas: MD Anderson Cancer Center, stated that in the study, patients with sustained cortisol levels throughout the day had an increased risk of mortality. Through analyzing patients’ gene profile, they have documented that the connection between distressed psychological conditions and lower survival time may stem from a dysregulation in inflammatory biology; they found out that psychological stress may cause the body to lose its ability to regulate inflammatory response.
With this study at hand, medical professionals hope that cancer treatments in the future will focus not solely on patients’ physical condition but also on their mental wellness.
