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.
