Abstract in brief

  • 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.

A bit late to reply, but I'm a statistician at the Usher Institute. I use electronic health records to better understand the relationship between mental and physical health. The most relevant research theme to my work is Mind and Body
