- Abstract
The article discusses a study in palliative care exploring factors associated with non-remission of depression. The study helps in determining whether specific psychiatric or psychological intervention is required. Results reveal that patients with low social support from family on referral require additional psychosocial care in the treatment of depression. Also discussed are the clinical implications for palliative care.
