The GoToGuide on Depression

understanding the connection between depression and your heart


Depression is a fairly common condition among people who have had a heart event. As many as one in three who’ve had a heart attack report feelings of depression. Women, people who’ve already reported depression before and people without a social network or emotional support are at higher risk for depression following a heart event.

Mended Hearts is pleased to announce a new online educational GotoGuide about depression and your heart. The GotoGuide covers topics such as:

  • What is Depression?
  • Symptoms of Depression
  • Effects of Depression
  • Diagnosis
  • Treatment
