Cancer
Tests have shown that patients with cancer have a high risk of developing depression.
On average 25% of all cancer patients will develop depression at some point in the course of their disease.
The latest studies show that it is important to treat depression associated with a serious physical disease.
If you are suffering from both a physical and psychological disease, it will take you longer to recover and your general symptoms may be worse. Treating depression improves health outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients.
