Abstract: The development of the science of psychology greatly helps to quickly and effectively treat patients suffering from various diseases by providing psychological assistance. The main goal of this scientific research is to study the effect of psychological stress in patients suffering from tuberculosis (TB) on the patient's recovery from the disease and to help them recover faster. Due to the fact that tuberculosis is an infectious and highly contagious disease, when this disease is diagnosed, patients become psychologically depressed, and this is a great obstacle to the patient's treatment. Anxiety and depression were common among TB patients, and there is significant progressive reduction during and after the treatment.
