Is self-disclosure in couples coping with cancer associated with improvement in depressive symptoms?
These results suggest that mere disclosure of emotions and thoughts to one's intimate partner is not beneficial in reducing distress. Partners' self-disclosure toward patients who disclose few emotions and concerns even appears to be harmful both for patients and partners, given that it reduces the decrease of depressive symptoms over time. If there is a mismatch in the need for self-disclosure within couples, partners with a strong need to talk about their emotions and concerns may be recommended to confide in someone else in their social network or to consult a health care professional.
