“…However, based on the total number of prescriptions, depression was the most frequent mental disorder. These findings indicate that depression is also an important emotional disorder in men, as has been reported in previous studies with other malignancies …”

“…Cancer survivors experienced elevated emotional distress at the time of cancer diagnosis and during treatment, as well as for a long period after the completion of treatment. 7,15,16 We longitudinally analyzed changes in the frequency of mental disorders, beginning 1 year before prostate cancer diagnosis, by using nationwide claims data. From a group of 32 005 prostate cancer survivors, we identified 3074 (9.6%) patients with mental disorders (Table 1).…”

“…15 This study population comprised elderly men with a median age of 70 years, such advanced age may have influenced the patterns of mental disorders observed in this study, compared to the patterns of breast and ovarian cancer that occur in relatively younger female patients. 15,16 The frequency of stress/adjustment disorder prominently increased immediately after cancer diagnosis compared with the frequencies of other mental disorders in patients with breast or ovarian cancer. However, prostate cancer survivors showed similar trends, regardless of other mental disorders.…”

“…These findings indicate that depression is also an important emotional disorder in men, as has been reported in previous studies with other malignancies. 15,16 Only 1.0% of the general population had depression, whereas 3.2% of prostate cancer survivors were diagnosed with depression. In the case of prostate cancer survivors, 3.8% were diagnosed with anxiety disorder, but only 0.9% were diagnosed in the general population.…”

Aim This time‐dependent study aimed to analyze the prevalence of psychological distress in prostate cancer survivors by using claims data in South Korea. Methods In a nationwide cohort, 32 005 patients were identified who were diagnosed with prostate cancer between January 2010 and December 2014. We referred the diagnostic codes of mental disorders as psychological distress. We categorized the prevalence of psychological distress based on age and specific times before and after the cancer diagnosis. Results The median age at diagnosis of prostate cancer was 70 years. Among 32 005 patients, 3074 (9.6%) were diagnosed at least once with a mental disorder between 1 year before the cancer diagnosis and the last follow‐up. Among the first diagnoses of each patient, the common mental disorders were anxiety (39.1%) and depression (33.0%). In the total cohort, there were 54 666 claims for mental disorders and over 48.0% (26 256) were for depression. The frequency of psychological distress peaked just before cancer diagnosis. Anxiety was frequent before diagnosis of prostate cancer, whereas depression was frequent after diagnosis. Although stress reaction/adjustment disorders were relatively high in the younger group, depression was relatively high in the elderly group. Conclusion Psychological distress in prostate cancer survivors showed different patterns of prevalence between before and after cancer diagnosis, as well as between age groups. Timely diagnosis and intervention for mental health could promote quality of life for prostate cancer survivors.

Objective People with cancer are often confronted not only with the burdens of medical treatment but also with psychological strain, which can lead to mental disorders (MD). To date, the prevalence of MD in newly diagnosed cancer patients and their utilization of mental health services (MHS) are mainly estimated through data of primary studies than considering healthcare‐related claims data. Methods Statutory health insurance claims data of the AOK/KV Hesse from 2011 to 2014 was analyzed. The number of incident cancer patients with MD and the utilization of MHS within the period of the quarter of incident cancer diagnosis and three subsequent quarters were determined. For incident cancer patients with an incident MD, the predictive values of sex, age group, and tumor entity on the documentation of MD diagnosis and utilization were investigated. Results The 12‐month prevalence of MD in incident cancer patients was 31.1% for depression, 11.2% for anxiety disorders, and 9.2% for post‐traumatic stress/adjustment disorder (PTSD/AD). Of these, 65.9% received outpatient psychotherapy and 43.0% at least one psychopharmacological drug prescription. Men had a significantly lower chance of receiving an MD diagnosis following cancer. Conclusions The prevalence of MD observed was higher for depression and lower for PTSD/AD compared to meta‐analyses of clinical trials. Male cancer patients had a lower chance of receiving an MD diagnosis than females, which coincides with existing results.
