Help For Your Depression - Help For Your Depression

The link between heart attacks and depression

December 12th 2006 18:21
New statistics show that if suffer from depression for the first time ever after you have a heart attack, then you are at significantly greater risk for having future cardiovascular problems. This is about 1.7-fold risk for new cardiovascular events following this initial episode of depression. Some studies have suggested that beta-blockers are possibly responsible for depression in heart patients, researchers also studied this possible link in a separate study. However, it did not appear to be any difference between patients using beta-blockers and those who didn't. Nevertheless, they could not rule out the fact that higher doses of the medication need to be taken for a longer period of time may cause depression.

Wow, here I am feeling like crap, I find my way to this site to find if not help, then at least co-sufferers, and I find your blurb telling me my depression ups my chance of a heart attack.

Way to go! You really helped me out today - thanks.
