PY - 2016 T2 - Depression in Medical Illness AB - Diseases of the lung are diverse in pathophysiology, course, and treatment, creating several challenges for the assessment and treatment of comorbid depression. The anxiety associated with shortness of breath—at times nearly indistinguishable from that of a panic—may be the most prominent psychiatric symptom in individuals with lung disease. However, depression of various degrees is also common (Fig. 16-1) and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This chapter will first review the major classes of pulmonary diseases and the known epidemiology of depression in these groups. Subsequent sections will discuss over-arching pathophysiologic mechanisms, as well as the novel features of depression onset, progression, and treatment in this population.
