  Social Interactions Lessen Cancer Depression - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 7/12/2001    Last Visited: 11/12/2002  

  In a paper published in the journal Psycho-Oncology, Michigan State University researchers Margot Kurtz and Charles Given suggest that depression in cancer patients can be reduced if clinicians better manage symptoms so that patients are able to continue their social activities during treatment.
  ...
  "I believe that the most significant finding is the important role that disruptions in social function -- that is contact with family, friends and daily interactions -- along with symptom management, have upon levels of depression," said Given, a professor of family practice in MSU's College of Human Medicine."This is particularly important because management of symptoms will allow patients to continue their customary social roles, which will, in most cases, reduce their feelings of depression during treatment."
  
  ...
  "This decline," said Given, "appeared to be due to the declining numbers of symptoms, as well as recovery of social function over time."
