T2  - Depression in Medical Illness
AB  - Depression  and  infectious  diseases  are  linked  in  multiple  ways.  Depression  contributes  to  initial  infection  in  several  diseases;  for  example  depression  predisposes  to  both  hepatitis  C  (HCV)  and  HIV  acquisition.  Conversely,  depression  may  result  from  the  stress  of  living  with  a  serious  infectious  disease,  or  may  stem  from  the  effect  of  an  infectious  disease  on  the  immune  and  central  nervous  systems  (CNS).  In  addition,  the  medications  used  to  treat  infectious  diseases  may  cause  depression.  The  interrelationship  is  further  complicated  by  the  fact  that  depression  may  be  more  prevalent  among  groups  at  greater  risk  of  infection,  such  as  individuals  with  substance-related  conditions  or  individuals  who  are  homeless  or  living  in  poverty.
