treating depression in patients with coronary artery disease or after an MI

You'll see more emphasis on treating depression in patients with coronary artery disease or after an MI.

We're not talking about the sad or discouraged feeling that can follow a major health setback. This is about the clinical depression that often follows an MI...and increases the risk of recurrent cardiac events.

The stress and depression can spiral downward to detrimental behaviors...physical inactivity, smoking, and poor adherence to meds.
