Abstract:
With great interest, we have read the article "Anxiety and depression in heart failure: An updated review" by Sarim Rashid et al. For its clarity and conciseness, we applaud the author for his extensive research on this delicate topic. The authors have concisely written several scenarios including the risk factors that contribute to the development and exacerbation of anxiety and depression in individuals with heart conditions, including biological, psychological, and social factors. Nonetheless, we thought it would be helpful to add a few more things to the article's conclusion to strengthen it. Exploring the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of post-sepsis related depression is of positive significance for reducing the occurrence of long-term depression and improving the prognosis of sepsis patients.
