"In addition to what medical researchers have been able to verify and explain regarding interactions between the nervous system and the immune system, there are a number of 'incidents' that hint at much more.
A group of medical researchers in Montreal tracked 222 post–heart attack victims, both men and women. The researchers found that those who were depressed (who felt sad, hopeless, and listless) were more likely to die of another heart attack within eighteen months of their first heart attack than those who were not--ten times more likely, in fact. A study of patients with a history of heart disease found that those who were depressed were eight times more likely to develop potentially deadly heart arrhythmia than those who were not depressed. In another study of 194 heart attack patients, those who reported lower amounts of emotional support were nearly three times more likely to die within six months than those with higher levels of emotional support.
A ten-year study was conducted to follow the mortality rates of people who had experienced a stroke. Those who had been diagnosed with either major or minor depression were 3.4 times as likely to have died within the follow-up period. The death rate among depressed patients with few social contacts was especially high-over 90 percent."
