Depression is a common condition and varies in severity. Exercise can contribute to managing depression. It is not commonly appreciated that there is a strong association between depression and heart disease. Middle-aged women with depression or Bipolar disorder have a fourfold increased risk of developing coronary disease. Recently published studies from Denmark and China have shown that counterpulsation therapy leads to a significant long term reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Antiageing
A recent article published in the BMA stated that in our ageing population regular exercise and maintaining mobility was an important part of maintaining independent living. Lack of mobility led to individuals requiring social care support. Counterpulsation therapy is equivalent to exerecise and improves cardiac function and cerebral blood flow. Evidence from research undertaken in China showed an improvement in cerebral function in patients with Alzheimers, Parkinsons disease and inschaemic stroke.
