Depression and Brain Tumor - a cooperative approach

The roles of psychiatry, psychology and oncology are going to be paramount in new thinking about depression crossing the research boundaries of last decade.
A feeling of depression representing feelings of loss, falling, flat, a sunken feeling, at most, loss of confidence and everything against you, are just some of the 'gates' a depressed person goes through.
Psychology has moved even deaper into relms of deprerssion it seems, by chance of exchange of view, second opinion, or even just a change of mind to re-examine the facts of the patient.
Now a neuropsychologist and/or oncologist come into the equasion, and with the use of imaging techniques, discover some cause for depression; Brain Cancer. Some patients have spent several months on anti-depressant treatments, still loosing touch with reality of life, some contemplating suicide.
For many now, the role of psychology and oncology is a more cooperative one, with 'rescues' from unexplained depression fear, often with no visual sign of tumor activity. Having a more substantial reason for the cause of a depression is perhaps now saving a life. Geoff.
