For many years, research has emphasized the strong link between physical and mental health, particularly in relation to heart health. Studies have shown that mental health issues such as anxiety and depression can significantly impact physical health. These conditions can lead to poor sleep, restlessness, feelings of hopelessness, inactivity, substance abuse, and unhealthy eating habits. These behaviors can contribute to the development of chronic health conditions or worsen existing ones.
Recently, a study conducted by researchers at Ohio State University and published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that individuals with known heart disease who received medication and psychotherapy for anxiety or depression had lower rates of hospital readmission and emergency room visits. This study highlights the importance of addressing mental health issues as a means of improving overall health and well-being.
