Links Between Hypertension And Depression

Someone asked me recently about depression treatment. He purchased the High Blood Pressure Program and jokingly asked if he could be depressed from it.

Many researcher say there is link between two. Hypertension leading to depression as well as depression leading to high blood pressure.

Research shows that people who suffer long term depression are two to three times as likely to also develop hypertension. First, we’ll look at depression as the initial problem.

It is also important to note that many times a person experiencing depression may also be more likely to have poor eating habits, smoke and or drink.

by Esther Dacanay

High Blood pressure or Hypertension is now the number one disease of today’s society. Healthy males generally have a reading of around 120/80 while females range in a number slightly lower.

Any reading higher than that is considered clinical hypertension. The top number or systolic pressure is described as the amount of pressure in the arteries when the heart is in the middle of a contraction. The bottom number or diastolic pressure is described as the amount of pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest.
