Debate of the Day - Mental Health and Prostate Cancer

The problem of mental health for prostate cancer patients is huge, but underacknowledged in urological services. Zachary Klaassen, Anne Sofie Friberg, and Karol Axcrona discuss their papers on the subject, which look at, respectively, mental health state associated with higher death rates for prostate and other urological cancers, hormonal treatment may trigger depression in men with prostate cancer, personality tests may aid recovery for prostate cancer patients. We also delve into some the reasons how better mental health care might be provided.

Had a prostatectomy 4 months ago, feel thankful for being cancer free but why am I so depressed?
I'm in tears every day, hate how my body has become, not told any of these symptoms?
