| Study explores the level of depression a person with mesothelioma undergoes |
A recent study conducted by Frank J. Infurna explored the levels of depression during prediagnosis, reaction stage (0-2 years after diagnosis) and reaction stage (24 months after the diagnosis) of patients suffering from mesothelioma cancer. Path Guth of Mesothelioma.com writes that “Results concluded that symptoms of depression rose dramatically during the initial reaction period and continued to rise during the adaption period, but only moderately. Although Infurna reported different results for each patient examined, he noted that a clear pattern emerged; namely ‘participants with better memory and better cancer prognoses had smaller increases in depressive symptoms than those with poorer cognitive skills and less favorable cancer outcomes.’”
