Palliative management of depression in advanced cancer
Throughout this article, the term depression is used loosely, and an approach to patients who might not strictly meet diagnostic criteria is included. The limits of the evidence are emphasised in the hope that general practitioners will feel confident to rely on their own clinical judgement and intimate knowledge of their patients to manage their depression.
