Depression's Physical Toll: How it Impacts Chronic Disease

Depression does more than affect your mood; it accelerates chronic illnesses like heart disease and diabetes. The link between mental health and physical conditions reveals a cycle that worsens overall health. Poor sleep and gut issues further complicate matters, leading to higher infection and disease rates. Sunlight, gut-friendly probiotics, and stress management are key to breaking this cycle. Supporting mitochondrial health through nutrition and exercise can also make a difference in both mental and physical resilience.
