Well yes, if you are poor, depressed and having horrible side effects you may well stop
taking hormonal therapy! Duh! I didn’t see too much about age (unless someone is making sweeping assumptions about everyone over 70 being poor and depressed!) and it’s just possible that if the research can clarify quite specific groups at greatest risk
of dropping out then something might be done - finding a way to minimise side effects would be a good start. I sometimes wonder about some of these ‘research’ papers stating the obvious and making strange connections. These ‘findings’ have to be replicated and tested before making changes.
