Summary

This quote suggests that depression in relation to cancer should not be simply attributed to the physical illness itself, but rather seen as a result of the impending fear and realization of approaching death. It highlights the emotional struggle of individuals facing their mortality, emphasizing that the psychological impact of the terminal condition is distinct from the physical symptoms. By understanding depression as a side effect of the dying process rather than solely related to the illness, we can approach support and treatment in a more holistic manner, focusing on both physical and emotional well-being.
