Slide17Mental Health Scenarios
Slide18Chronic Disease
A health condition that is present in a person’s body over a long period of time, or that re-occurs over a long period of
time
Some chronic conditions can never be completely cured, but can be managed Examples of chronic diseases are: Diabetes Heart disease Cancer Arthritis Asthma
Slide19Chronic Disease and Mental Health
Depression
is found to co-occur in 17 percent of cardiovascular disease cases, 23 percent of stroke cases, 27 percent of diabetes cases, and over 40 percent of cancer
cases
Research has shown that depression increases the likelihood of developing a chronic condition and successfully treating it Adults in the U.S. living with a serious mental illness die an average of 25 years earlier than those without a mental illness, mainly due to treatable medical conditions. There is a link between positive mental health practices and good health. For example, people who are optimistic are less likely to develop heart disease Depression and anxiety most commonly co-occur with chronic diseasesSources: Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2012).
