Abstract
Cancer is a disease caused by the uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in one or more parts of the body. The paper affirms that the incidence, prevalence and mortality of cancer have increased since in the 1990s of the American health history. Breast cancer refers to a cancer that affects the mammary glands DeSantis, Ma, Bryan&Jemal, (2014). Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in America followed by prostrate and lung cancers respectively. Women of the age above 40 years have the highest rates of breast cancer. African-American women register poorest in breast cancer survival. Research has also found that the above women age 40 and African American group have the highest rates of depression in America DeSantis, Ma, Bryan&Jemal, (2014).
Thesis
Cancer has effected millions of people around the world, so it’s important to be knowledgeable when it comes to a health condition that may affect you or your love ones becaues it can be very depressing not just on the person who is dealing with the disease but the family as well. Depression is a serious condition that effects many people and can lead to serious actions such as self harm and suicide. But there are successful ways to treat the condition if people seek the proper treatment.
Introduction
Researches from the realms of psychology and oncology have majorly focused on the effects of cancer on depression. However, the research narrowed on the mechanisms by which cancer causes depression by suggesting that the fatigue and pain associated with cancer treatment create, and the increased severity of the disease stress to the patient. The American Cancer Society (2016) also affirms that cancer affects the emotional health of patients because of instillation of fear, anxiety and depression.Most literatures have focused on the effects of cancer on depression, and less on the effects of depression on cancer. There are a few comprehensive researches that have focus on providing the information on how depression affects breast cancer. For example, Sheard and Maguire (1999) research on the effects of psychological intervention in cancer patients. However, the gap of statistical evidence on the effects of depression on breast cancer still exists. Therefore, this research will provide such information by comparing the reports from therapists and clinicians cases. The research will be beneficial to both psychologist and oncologist because they will have a better strategy of using depression intervention methods in prevention, treatment and management of cancer patients and survivors.
Literature Review
Cancer patients continue to experience several stressors as well as emotional upheavals. Depression on breast cancer remained to be a misdiagnosed and undertreated among the population of breast cancer patients. The prevalence of depression among breast cancer patients appears to have elevation among the patients with an advanced level of cancer. Several medical factors, demographic, plus psychosocial factors may lead to the risk that makes women develop symptoms of depression during the period when they are sick. Depression of breast cancer among the population appears to associate with adverse effects on human health. According to McNamara, (2011), there is need to look for an appropriate approach that can be applicable in handling this conditions as the disorder remains to lack proper treatment and diagnosis.
Psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are the appropriate methods for treating the depression symptoms of breast cancer among the individuals, but the idea of using cognitive-behavioral therapy can be the proper treatment method due to its cost effectiveness. Risk factors that result due to depression on breast cancer in a period of 5 years after the diagnosis process tend to relate more to the patient rather than to the treatment of the disorder. The depression among the patients forms a condition that can have a big range of symptoms leading to low motivation to live a normal life. Additionally, cancer patients remain to live in fear of death, interruption of life spans, selfÕÉ≠†Њ†-esteem, and changes in their social role as well as lifestyle. The idea that focuses on the treatment of depression in breast cancer among women improves their quality of life as it increases longevity Cvetković & Nenadović, (2016). There is a need for researchers and professionals in healthcare to start examining all of the factors that focus in contributing to the active participation of patients in dealing with the completion of the cases of cancer among the population.
Conclusion
Consequently, depression increases the adverse effects and rates of breast cancer. This research aims at using extant statistics and primary research from therapists and oncologists to identify the extent at which depression affects the incidence of, treatment for, and recovery from breast cancer.
