Depression has an amazing effect on the body. It is damaging. My first wife with an inherited chronic depression died of a lung cancer, just like her mother's cancer (same cell type, same place in the lung) but at age 61, while her mother was 86. Her mother was not depressed. This article makes the point strongly and describes the genetic changes in telomeres that reduces the protection of genes and allows for the damage:-http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304587704577333941351135910.html?KEYWORDS=Shirley+S+Wang
