Approximately 25%
of all persons with cancer will meet the criteria for adjustment disorder
with depressed mood or major depression (63), but cancer patients are no
more likely to suffer from depression than other equally seriously ill
medical patients (64). Most people cope well with cancer and may need formal
counseling and support only in times of crisis or when their usual coping
mechanisms are not effective (65). |
