A member asked:

Do brain tumors cause depression?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some do, some don't: A lot depends on the location of the tumor, it's size, the swelling around it, which fiber tracks are blocked and chemicals emitted from the tumor, as well as the person's psychological reaction to having a brain tumor, family support, accurate and timely treatment, etc.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
