Summary
This study looks at how depression and other mental health issues impact symptom severity and quality of life in people with graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Researchers will follow 200 adults with GvHD, using questionnaires to measure psychiatric status and symptoms. The goal is to see if treating depression can help reduce GvHD burden and improve daily life.
