ABSTRACT
Depressive illness is often not recognized in terminally ill patients, because it is seen as an 'understandable' reaction. However, treating depression in such patients can significantly improve the quality of their remaining life. The diagnosis and management of depression in terminally ill patients will be discussed in this article.
