Depression Bad For The Heart

A recent publication from the Associated Press showed that severe depression may silently break a seemingly healthy woman's heart. Long before, it is known that depression is common after a stroke or heart attack and these can worsen the outcome.

Researches from Columbia University reported new evidence that depression can lead to heart disease in the first place.

The Journal of American College of Cardiology, recently published that depressed women were more than likely to experience sudden cardiac death.

Perhaps the rational explanation to this is: Depression can make people do a worse job taking care of themselves.

The American Heart Association just last year recommended that everyone who already has a heart disease be regularly screened for depression.
