Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a chronic disease that lasts a long time and requires long-term treatment, besides those physical conditions can also have an impact on a person's psychological condition, one of which is depression. However, it is possible that depression can also cause coronary heart disease in a person. Symptoms often overlap with cardiac symptoms, such as fatigue and insomnia (difficulty sleeping) which makes it difficult to diagnose depression in coronary heart disease patients.
