Depression raises heart failure risks: study Quote: CHICAGO (Reuters) - Heart patients who become depressed have a higher risk of developing heart failure, regardless of whether they take antidepressants, U.S. researchers said on Monday. They said the study is the first to look at whether depression raises the risk for heart failure, a chronic condition affecting 5 million Americans in which the heart gradually loses its ability to pump blood efficiently. "Our data suggest that depression is an important and emerging risk factor for heart failure among patients with coronary heart disease," Heidi May of Intermountain Medical Center in Utah, whose study appears in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, said in a statement. Prior studies have shown that depression is about three times more common after a heart attack and depressed patients are at higher risk of a second heart attack. http://www.reuters.com/article/healt...53C5NL20090413 __________________ Forum Rules The Thanks! button Spelling and the TTR How to insert a picture Using our search feature Copying and pasting articles TTR Advertising opportunities

Well this is one reason why I'm not going to last much longer out here...the zeal I once had for this lifestyle is just not there anymore... Where being out here on the road once made me feel alive and vibrant...it now makes me feel alone and lost at times... I've changed...I have other needs now...and this over the road lifestyle no longer satisfies those needs... Soon i will have to make some major changes so that my mental health or vitality doesn't start effecting my physical health...
