Experts say depression is associated with other neurological problems

Many people view depression as a problem that will simply go away after a while or when things improve in their life. However, evidence continues to suggest that the mental disorder may have a lasting impact on an individual's neurological health, and treating it with a prescription to buy Paxil may be important.

For example, a team of researchers recently reported at a conference that women who suffer from depression are significantly more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease later in life, according to the Daily Mail.

The researchers pointed to evidence showing that many people who experience depression in mid-life often experience a sort of mental fogginess. While this is not the same thing as dementia, some have suggested that it may not go away and that memory and cognitive problems can persist into individuals' senior years, the news source reported.

The National Institute of Mental Health says that close to 17 percent of adults in the U.S. will experience depression at some point in their life and women are 70 percent moe likely than men to experience the condition. Given the serious consequences associated with depression, treating it may be important.
