What Is The Prognosis For A Depressed Heart Patient?
Hello, I am a 54 year old male. married for 24 years. 2 years ago I was fired from a job I had been there for 7 1/2 years. 6 months before, around x-mas I was given a $7500 bonus. I started this job at 10 per hour and was making 22.00 when I left. I was fired the day after having a small stroke. I was fired the next day. Since then we have sold our house and have been living on equity. This wont last much longer and I cant find the drive to go back to the workforce. I am not afraid of death and would like to leave my wife something before I go. I no longer receive any enjoyment from anything, and am just waiting to die. I expect no miracles.
The heart patient with depression has high mortality rate as compared to person without depression. This requires treatment of depression and medicare or medicaid can be best option for you to opt the ultimate therapy of cure rather than thinking of unwanted thoughts.
