A study of 515 women who had an acute heart attack (MI, Myocardial Infarction), reported symptoms that were not your typical heart symptoms. The most commonly reported symptoms were unusual fatigue, sleep disturbances, shortness of breath, indigestion, and anxiety.

Valuable Facts That Can Help You Understand Depression
There is a lot of information about depression on the internet, in books, and on television. For some people, they find so much information that they are unable to comprehend any of it, and end up being more confused than ever before. This article will give you some basic facts regarding depression, which will hopefully help you put things a little better into perspective.
First of, if you are suffering from depression, there is no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed, as you are not alone. Research indicates that approximately fourteen million people will suffer from depression or a related mental disorder each year. Out of all of those people, very few will actually seek or receive treatment, less than twenty percent. Out of the entire adult population, roughly sixteen percent will suffer from some type of depression before they die. One fact that you should really absorb is that out of those fourteen million people who will suffer from depression this year, ninety percent or better will state that their depression has impacted all facets of their normal daily lives, family, work, and personal relationships. That fact right there should tell you how important it is to seek treatment for your depression, not only for your sake, but for the sake of your family and friends as well. People who suffer from untreated symptoms of depression are also usually more likely to pick up infections and viruses due to the effect of depression symptoms on the body’s immune system.

Ten Tips For Beating Depression
I heard about a woman who was suffering from depression, so her concerned husband took her to a psychiatrist. The doctor listened to the couple talk about their relationship, and then he said, “The treatment I prescribe is really quite simple.” With that, he went over to the man’s wife, gathered her up in his arms, and gave her a big kiss. He then stepped back and looked at the woman’s glowing face and broad smile. Turning to the woman’s husband, he said, “See! That’s all she needs to put new life back into her.” Expressionless, the husband said, “If you say so, Doc, I can bring her in on Tuesdays and Thursdays.”
Okay, that’s not how to treat depression, but I have a few other suggestions that make more sense. As a result of trial and error, over the course of thirty years, I’ve found ten blues battling strategies that often help me. These are not quick fixes, and this list is not exhaustive. It is also not a “must do” list.
