[H225]Heart Mind And Strength

by Denzing Jones, Den

Depression inspite of being an ailment of the mind owes a lot to the physical causes. Depression is one of the most widespread diseases in the world; the reason for which it is often thought to be normal. However, in the recent times it is often claimed that depression is over diagnosed, that is, it is not as widespread as it is made out to be. There is a very fine line between what we term as sadness and clinical depression. The latter invariably needs treatment whereas sadness may not always require medical attention. Interestingly, a recent poll attested to the fact that doctors also relent to the patients' insistence on having antidepressants. Antidepressants are strictly prescribed drugs meant to be had only in case of depression. But due to over diagnosis of depression and the insistence on the part of the patients to have antidepressants, antidepressants have increasingly come to be had even when the patient is not ailing from depression. The over diagnosis of the disorder has also contributed to their overwhelming sale, so much so that they are now being marketed online.

Antidepressants like xanax are a common sight in the online pharmacies selling depression cures. People also find it easier to and its counterparts online as the process is easier, hassle free, and saves them time and embarrassment. Like all other antidepressants xanax is a prescription drug and even when you you can't skip the prescription part. The xanax side-effects can get dangerous if had without prescription and some other things should also be kept in mind like the combo. Xanax and alcohol is a lethal combination and should be avoided at all costs. Â Â

Depression apart from being caused by external causes is also the aftermath of other diseases at times and sometimes is even the marker and cause of other diseases. It is seen that people suffering from depression are more often that not troubled by some other disease as well. Depression resulting from a chronic disease is a common sight. A healthy, enlightened, spirited and jolly mind invariably results from a healthy body. If a person is constantly troubled by a nagging disease it is only natural that he or she will fall prey to depression or other similar mental disorders. Depression is also at times accompanied by other similar ailments that together give rise to some other serious disease. Depression and hostility on the part of the patient has been proved to be causing serious heart complications in the concerned person. Depression is a very potent cause of the heart diseases like high blood pressure, blockage in the arteries etc. Interestingly it has also been seen that diseases like erectile dysfunction, obesity and depression often co exist with either each other or with some kind of heart ailments. Some times it is also seen that two or more of these health conditions exist together. Therefore, it is established that there must be some kind of co-relation between diseases like depression, ED, obesity and the various heart ailments. Infact researchers agree that in case a person is suffering depression or other similar mental dilemma, obesity and ED he should get a check up done to judge the condition of his heart. This disease is quite effective pointer towards having heart diseases in the future.

In literature, the human heart and the human mind are often either considered to be inextricably linked or distinct and separate entities from one another. For the most part, medical science has tended to look at the connection between the two with a bias towards the latter viewpoint. That is, the two are connected only in the same way the mind and any other area of the body is connected. However, recent findings show that behavioral and mental health disorders such as dementia and depression might have more of an effect on the physical functions of the heart than initially believed. In particular, they might be potential causes of clots and strokes.

A study conducted by the Mayo Clinic took in a number of patients in 1998, all of whom were diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. This is a condition that affects the upper chambers of the heart, which often has the effect of causing an erratic, irregular pulse as a primary sign. The problem is generally asymptomatic and only fatal in extreme cases, though palpitations, chest pains, fainting, and congestive heart failure are all possibilities. Atrial fibrillation is only a major concern when it is chronic, wherein it has the potential to be highly fatal. The Mayo Clinic study followed the subjects up to 2006, where they noted a startling similarity between them.

The researchers found that roughly 300 of the patients developed dementia and other behavioral disorders, such as depression. The statistics also showed that those that developed dementia and other mental health disorders had a higher fatality rate because of atrial fibrillation than those who had their minds intact. Age also appeared to have played some sort of role, with the problem appearing in people who were 50 or above, though it was notable that most of them were in good health (aside from the aforementioned circulatory ailment) for their particular age bracket.

The research team is currently unsure of what, exactly, is causing this to occur. The effects of things like depression and insomnia on the heart have been studied in the past, particularly due to the lack of sleep that both things can cause. However, no insomnia or significant sleep disorders were detected by the research team on the test subjects, which has opened room for speculation on what dementia had to do with the increased fatality rate and the presence of the heart ailment. Also, due to the nature of the study and the specific limitations of the research procedures and period, there was no way to determine if the heart ailment was caused by the dementia or if it was the other way around.

The fact that atrial fibrillation is a rather common ailment in contrast to the relative rareness of true dementia does pose some interesting questions. There are several cases of side effects that can worsen the original conditions, so it is possible that dementia is among those factors. However, there is currently no clear idea on how a heart ailment is affecting the brain, especially because there is no indication that atrial fibrillation causes abnormal amounts of blood (whether lessened or increased) to be sent to the brain.
