Is That Divorce Worth the Cost to Your Health?
August 19, 2009
A study scheduled to be published in the September issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, analyzes data from nearly 9,000 adults nationwide, ages 51 to 61, and finds those who had been divorced or widowed suffered 20 percent more chronic health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes or cancer, than individuals who were currently married.
So, yes, it would appear that divorce can be bad for your health. Any change in lifestyle can cause depression and anxiety along with physical ailments that are stress induced.
