It’s terrible that someone with a serious illness would also deal with depression on top of that. I believe that more can be done in hospital to help people after surgery and during a serious illness recover more quickly. For example, guided meditation has been shown to reduce complications and even blood loss for those undergoing medical treatment such as surgery. Belleruth Naparstek has written about this type of guided meditation on her site, healthjourneys.com.
