Due to the pressure caused by changing societal roles and multiple responsibilities, depression has significantly increased the risk of early death in women, a study has found.<\/p>\n
The findings showed that the risk of death associated with depression appeared strongest in the years following a depressive episode.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the recent years in which women\u2019s risk of death increased significantly, roles have changed dramatically both at home and in the workplace, and many women shoulder multiple responsibilities and expectations,\u201d said Ian Colman from the University of Ottawa.<\/p>\n
In the study, the lifespan for young adults with depression at age 25 was markedly shorter over the 60-year period \u2014 the lifespan shortened ranging from 10 to 12 fewer years of life, then four to seven years and later seven to 18 fewer years of life.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first the association was limited to men, but in later years it was seen for women as well,\u201d said Stephen Gilman from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Maryland, US.<\/p>\n
For the study, published in CMAJ, the team looked at 60 years of mental health data on 3410 adults from a region in Atlantic Canada and linked the data to deaths in the Canadian Mortality Database.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
