This article reviews demoralization which is proposed that hopelessness, loss of meaning,and existential distress are the core features of the diagnostic category of demoralization syndrome. This syndrome can be differentiated from depression. It is associated with bodily disfigurement, disability, age, dependency on others, perception of loss of dignity, social isolation, and desire for death. However, it is difficult to say that the diagnosis standard concerning demoralization has been established under the present situation. Therefore, it is thought that the situation in which some patients suffer can be improved very much by evaluating the demoralization syndrome as a formal diagnosis category. To alleviate the distress caused by this syndrome, a treatment approach in Japan will have to be established.
