Beat the blues after a heart attack: if you feel depressed after a heart attack, you're not alone. Here's what to do - Mind, Body, Spirit - Brief Article
Natural Health, April, 2003
THE STRESS AND FEAR BROUGHT ON by a heart attack can lead to depression, which can slow recovery and up your chances four-fold of dying from another heart attack, says Robert Carney, Ph.D., a professor of psychiatry at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Carney, who has done several studies on heart problems and mood, says that depression makes heart patients less compliant with rehabilitation and may actually trigger further heart damage.
Two keys to overcoming a debilitating mood include sharing your feelings and learning how to relax, says Pierre Brunschwig, M.D., who, as director of the Boulder, Colo.-based medical group Helios Integrative Medicine, has worked with numerous heart patients. He suggests joining a support group with other heart patients suffering from depression, or seeing a professional counselor. And to counter stress, meditate every day--even if only for five minutes.
