Depression

Damages caused by depression takes a greater toll on health than chronic angina, arthritis, asthma, or diabetes.

A growing body of research indicates that it triggers certain diseases like diabetes, heart problems, Osteoporosis, cancer.

Untreated depression increases the chance of risky behaviours such as drug or alcohol addiction.

It also can ruin relationships, cause problems at work, and make it difficult to overcome serious illnesses.

There is mounting evidence that clinical depression takes a serious toll on physical health. The most recent studies exploring health and major depression have looked at patients with stroke or coronary artery disease.
