The psychological responses to disease were examined in patients with malignant and benign breast disease. Participants completed measures of depression, anxiety, stress, emotional expressivity and behavioral reactions to disease. The authors found that a high proportion of female patients with malignant breast disease are depressive, anxious and distressed. Significant differences were noted between the two groups on anxiety and stress scales. Both groups of patients revealed significant differences in depression symptoms, anxiety and stress due to education level and age. The perceived severity of illness has an important effect on the degree of anxiety. Social support lowered the expression of negative emotions in patients with malignant breast disease.
