Summary:"It's not so surprising that heart disease can cause depression. But did you know that research shows that negative emotions can actually cause or worsen heart disease? If you have cardiovascular disease, have experienced a heart attack, had bypass surgery, or suffer from an anxiety or mood disorder, you owe it to yourself to read this book - the information it contains could save your life." "In The Heart-Mind Connection Dr. Windsor Ting and Dr. Gregory Fricchione team up to examine the biology of emotions and identify the eight "Heart-Mind Conspirators" that can physically undermine your health: depression, anxiety, anger, social isolation, chronic stress, acute stress, panic disorder, and daily and seasonal rhythms. In addition, you'll discover: how to evaluate common antidepressants and their merits for heart patients; alternative approaches to treating anxiety and depression; tips on managing stress and anger; survival strategies for bypass surgery and heart attack recovery; and important information on women's risk for heart disease and using hormone replacement therapy."--BOOK JACKET.
