It would be great of oncs or primary care physicians referred patients to psychiatrists after diagnosis of cancer.

It rarely happens. You are lucky if you get someone to listen to your symptoms of depression or anxiety and prescribe appropriate meds. As a cancer patient, you are lucky to get them to deal with pain.

This is a great posting.
