Emotional Health and Heart Attacks: Volume II Issue 4

Emotional Health and Heart Attacks

Greetings,

According to Forbes.com, an article in the January issue of the Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource reports, "Depression, fear and anger are common reactions after a person has had a heart attack, and emotional recovery is vital to a patient's health and well-being." The article says, "heart attack survivors with depression are three times more likely to die of a future heart attack or other heart problems."

Experts offer several suggestions to aid emotional recovery: 1) Discuss your feelings with doctors, family, and friends; 2) If you think you may be depressed, seek treatment; and, 3) Exercise, as directed by your doctor. Exercise may help relieve anxiety and depression.

These suggestions should not be limited to heart attack survivors. We all deal with emotional challenges at various times in our life. When we're experiencing emotional challenges, it is particularly important that we share our feelings with trusted loved ones, seek support and assistance from experienced professionals (such as our team here at emoshuns.com), and take good care of our physical health by eating well and getting enough rest and exercise.

The American Academy of Family Physicians offers additional advice:
