Depression is a significant problem for some breast cancer survivors after the end of treatment.

This study assessed depression using the CES‑D for 84 breast cancer patients at the conclusion of radiation treatment, and at 3 and 6 months post‑treatment. Based on the pattern of CES‑D scores, patients were divided into five groups (Stay Depressed, Recover, Become Depressed, Never Depressed, Vacillate). Relationships between these depression patterns and medical, demographic, and psychological measures (anxiety, quality of life, number of children at home) were examined.

Understanding stability and changes in depressive symptoms can inform psychosocial interventions to improve quality of life for breast cancer survivors.
