If depression has turned out to be your life companion then try to get rid of it as soon as possible because it may trigger the development of blood vessel plaques, known as atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition, which experts believe may put you at increased risk of heart attack, stroke and several other cardiovascular health problems.
Researchers brought out this idea after a long study of three years, during which they evaluated the contribution of depression, anxiety, and anger to atherosclerosis among 324 men and women between 50 and 70 years old.
Briefing about these findings investigators concluded:
Our results indicate that depression, but perhaps not anxiety and hostility/anger, may be involved in the initiation and/or progression of atherosclerosis.
This is really a serious issue that has been undraped through this study, which clearly shows that how dangerous depression could be. Still, we can’t deny the fact that this is not the first study to show that depression is linked to bad health since previous studies have well promulgated this fact. Here is a look:-
