Abstract
The most common psychiatric complications in the cancer population are depression, anxiety, and delirium. All are more likely to occur in the cancer patient who has pain. This review outlines the normal responses to cancer and the psychiatric disorders frequently encountered in clinical practice. The influence of pain on the incidence and presentation of these disorders is described. Multimodal treatment, which includes pharmacologic, psychotherapeutic, and behavioral interventions, is outlined.
