Breathing problems linked with depression

Yes, the worse your breathing is the more likely you are to be depressed! Perhaps if you've broken your nose before and now it gets blocked easily and makes that weird whistling sound sometimes it may be time to get nasal plastic surgery. They just go in and carve up your nose, scraping away the soft bone. Could make you happier, and happiness is a good thing.

Those with minimal cases of the condition (sleep-related breathing disorder) were 1.6 times as likely to be depressed; those with mild cases, twice as likely; and those with moderate or worse, 2.6 times as likely. The total people studied were 3,202 which is pretty huge.

It was also found that women were twice as likely to be depressed, although that's not a new finding.
