Cardiovascular disease and depression: a bidirectional relationship and its clinical implications
Overview
This review examines the bidirectional relationship between depression and cardiovascular disease, detailing shared pathophysiological mechanisms such as neuroendocrine dysregulation and inflammatory activation. It discusses how each condition can predispose individuals to the other and outlines current multimodal treatment strategies that combine pharmacotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and lifestyle modifications. The resource is intended for clinicians and researchers interested in the clinical implications of this comorbidity.
