Globally, the two most common causes of disability in high-income countries are cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression. These are expected to occur at this level in all income-level countries by 2030. Individuals who have depression are more prone to developing CVD and have a higher mortality rate compared to the general population. Also, cardiovascular disease with depression has been demonstrated to impact the patient’s overall well-being and quality of life [1]. This paper presents an overview of CVD and comorbid depression. It examines how effective cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is for depression and evaluates the effectiveness of CBTs for CVD.
