Changes in Depressive Patterns Before and After Lung Cancer Diagnosis: A Nationwide Population‐Based Study
Antidepressant use is prevalent before, and rises further after, a lung cancer diagnosis. The difference relative to the comparison cohort was most evident among individuals with no history of antidepressant use. These findings underscore the need for systematic psychosocial assessment and integrated mental health support throughout the lung cancer care pathway.
