A GREAT in-depth guide to depression, however, I give it only 3 stars because it doesn't directly the link between heart disease and depression.
For a thorough, comprehensive discussion of depression and how it can lead to, among other things, heart disease, this is the place to go. NIMH provides an in-depth discussion of the five major facets of depression, including symptoms to be aware of, typical causes or triggers, the different ways it affects men, women and children, and how it's detected and treated. It also offers suggestions for ways you can help yourself, a friend, or a relative who is depressed, even providing information on how to help someone who is in crisis. This is must-have information for anyone dealing with depression, be it their own or a loved one's.
