People diagnosed with depression in early adulthood or middle age have a tripled risk of getting dementia, and older adults with depression have a doubled risk of the condition, a new study warns.

July 25, 2023 – People diagnosed with depression in early adulthood or middle age have a tripled risk of getting dementia, and older adults with depression have a doubled risk of the condition, according to a new study of people in Denmark.. For the study, researchers matched 246,499 Danish adults with depression to Danes of the same age and gender without the condition, then evaluated the people’s health data from 1977 to 2018 to look for the onset of dementia.

People diagnosed with depression from 18 to 59 years old were three times more likely to be diagnosed with dementia, compared to older people. The dementia risk remained whether people diagnosed with depression were prescribed antidepressant medication within 6 months of their depression diagnosis. The number of times someone with depression was hospitalized also impacted their dementia risk level. The researchers wrote that further study is warranted on how different types of depression treatment and duration of treatment impact depression risk.
