Figure 1: Course of psychiatric morbidity in cancer patients (n=62) during three years of investigation (time of diagnosis (t 1 ), 5 to 18 months after (t 2 ) and 23 to 38 months after (t 3 )). Lines stand for individual changes of diagnosis over time, with the number of patients at the dotted end of each line, respectively. Thick lines indicate main influences from a certain class of disorder found at the previous assessment point. Multiple diagnoses were possible (therefore, numbers do not add up necessarily).
