Please advise: what therapy could help the terminally ill father of a friend of mine? Stage 4 lung cancer. Talk to a psychologist? The only thing that "helped" him were large doses of opiate painkillers.
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoYes, this is the exception i put in the braces in my previous post. But being physically ok, but having depression is something that can be solved by therapy.. or atleast should be tried before ending it
- throwawayboise 5y agoWhat's wrong with large doses of optiate painkillers, if you're terminally ill? Addicition isn't a worry, certainly.
- zdragnar 5y agoThe side effects of most pain killers can also be extremely unpleasant. You'll have more time, but you'll be miserable or marginally conscious for most of it.
- johnisgood 5y agoIn case of opiates, what side-effects are you thinking of? Constipation is an easy fix. Assuming proper use and dosage, opiates are way safer than NSAIDs.
- stan_rogers 5y agoAnd they don't always work. Look up intractable pain.
