A new long-term study in the journal Neurology finds that there is a 70% increased risk in dementia for patients with depression. While other studies have been performed on a possible link in the past, the study in Neurology is the first long-term study that accounts for other influencing factors such as smoking, alcohol, and heart disease. The study was unable to determine a causal link; it could potentially be determined in future studies utilizing functional MRI or CT scans.
