Depressive Disorders lead to Alzheimer's

Posted by SLS on April 27, 2008, at 6:38:16

What can one do to help prevent the development of Alzheimer's?

People with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) are at greater risk of developing Alzheimer's Dementia (DAT). The brains of MDD + DAT have more neurofibrillary tangles and more amyloid plaques than DAT alone.

I plan on taking n-acetylcysteine (NAC) for the potential it has as an antioxidant and Alzheimer's preventative. That's the idea, anyway.
