As a result, even after a so-called "successful surgery" most people with BDD remain as distressed as before.

Depressed head and neck cancer patients are less likely to survive the disease and more likely to have a recurrence of it, according to a new study conducted at the University of Texas. Smoking also had a significant effect on whether cancer came back, researchers reported in the new study, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. However, depression was the only factor associated with survival rates.

The association between maternal depression and adverse outcomes in children is well established. Similar links have been found for maternal childhood abuse.

Only in the past two decades has depression in children been taken seriously. Now, it's becoming clear that kids as young as 3 can have major depression. That's due largely to the work of Dr. Joan Luby, the director of the Early Emotional Development Program at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, who is credited with spurring the small but growing body of evidence that preschoolers can experience depression and be successfully treated.
