Depression is common among patients with heart attacks. About 22 percent of all heart attack patients are depressed.

Not all patients become depressed after having a heart attack. Depression should not be considered a normal reaction after a heart attack. Clinicians and patients should be aware that depression is an important risk factor for adverse outcomes after a heart attack.

We found that the prevalence of depression was 40 percent in women age 60 years or younger, 21 percent in women older than 60, 22 percent in men 60 or younger and 15 percent in men older than 60.

As epidemics of heart attack, stroke, depression and diabetes are only increasing, we need to understand the vast majority of people in India have little or no access to those treatments proven to prevent these conditions.

it's the people you are close to, the ones who love you, theo nes who have seen your heart, who have touched your soul- to them, it is obvious that something is wrong or missing. your heart and soul are missing. they feel it. it hurts them. it kills them.

I grew up in the heart of the Depression.
