Abstract Synopsis
- This text reviews research on how mental health issues like mood and anxiety disorders, alcohol dependence, and their treatments affect heart rate variability (HRV), a marker of overall wellbeing, highlighting that these conditions are linked to reduced HRV even in healthy individuals and that certain medications may worsen this.
- It emphasizes that lower HRV can impair social engagement, self-regulation, and stress coping, and over time, can lead to serious health problems like immune dysfunction, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and increased mortality.
- The authors suggest that future research should focus on understanding the long-term effects of autonomic dysregulation in psychiatric patients and develop interventions to prevent related health complications.
