Does Depression Increase Risk of Breast Cancer
A recent study reported by MSNBC suggested that women who are sad or suffer from mild depression have a higher risk of getting breast cancer.
The research also suggested that the longer a patient suffers with feeling of sadness or being depressed, the stronger the relationship with breast cancer becomes. The research is published in the journals Clinical Practice and Epidemiology in Mental Health.
The risk of breast cancer is increased by as much as 12% for women who wrestle with depression. Another study found that these women are more than two and a half times more likely to develop breast cancer than those who are not depressed.
