Depression linked to early heart disease?

If you're depressed and end up staying that way for some reason, did you know that you may develop thickening of the arteries which can lead to premature heart disease?

This comes from new research concluding that depression's physical signs may contribute to cardiovascular disease in the form of artery problems in patients.

Studies in the past that have looked as heart disease causes usually focused in on anger, hostility and anxiety as causes -- but now, the physical manifestations of depression may even add to heart disease in a depressed person. This is even more evidence that you should seek help if you suffer from depression -- and knock yourself out of the cycle.
