depression is a usual response to many things. I don't think that's a problem. I remember laughing at the list of stupid questions they would ask my person at every oncology appointment about how she was feeling. She had metastasized cancer -how the **** did they think she was feeling. she finally just told them to stop asking her those questions and they did. They also kept offering her all sorts of drugs for depression. It, to me and to her, was ridiculous that they wanted to drug her out of her feelings.
