Depression
Anxiety
and unhappiness are common emotions experienced
after a cancer diagnosis.
Breast
cancer can upset mind and give negativity, however,
and these women need to be given additional help,
because it is not typical to be depressed in the
wake of this diagnosis.
Women
with a history of depression, other personal trauma,
or those who have multiple additional social stressors,
may be at increased risk for distress during illness.
