Chronic Illness May Double Risk of Depression

#chronicillness #depression #communicationsmedicine People with multiple long-term physical health conditions face a significantly higher risk of developing depression, according to a new study published in Communications medicine. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh found that certain combinations of chronic illnesses, particularly cardiometabolic conditions like heart disease and diabetes, can more than double the likelihood of a future depression diagnosis. Using data from over 142,000 participants in the UK Biobank, the study examined how clusters of physical illnesses influence the risk of depression Participants, aged 37 to 73, had at least one chronic physical condition but no prior history of depression. Over a 10-year follow-up, researchers tracked depression diagnoses and used statistical clustering techniques to analyse patterns in physical illness profiles. The results revealed that people with the most complex health conditions—those without a single dominant illness but instead a mix of various issues had the highest risk of developing depression. This group was followed closely by those with both diabetes and heart disease, as well as individuals suffering from chronic lung diseases such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Liver and bowel conditions were also linked to an increased depression risk.
