One of the most debilitating side effects of cancer is the depression that can accompany it. Depression is, unfortunately, one the most under-recognized conditions in patients fighting cancer. At Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) we understand that depression may accompany a cancer diagnosis and provide treatment options designed to help you manage your depression throughout your journey.
Cancer, Depression, and Your Quality of Life
From a loss of motivation, decreased energy levels and fatigue to changes in appetite, insomnia and increased anxiety, dealing with both cancer and depression can make a difficult situation seem even more unmanageable. At CTCA we understand that a cancer diagnosis has a profound impact on your life and your outlook, and we will work with you to create a treatment plan designed to treat your cancer and improve your overall quality of life.
If you or a loved one is dealing with cancer and would like to learn more about your treatment options, please contact one of our Oncology Information Specialists at 1-800-615-3055 or chat with us online at Cancer Treatment Options.

At Cancer Treatment Centers of America, our compassionate staff will help you identify how serious your depression is, and if needed, refer you to a trained professional. With CTCA by your side, cancer and depression do not need to go hand in hand.
