NEW: The patient version of the 2025 ESC Clinical Consensus Statement on #MentalHealth and CVD has just been released.
❤️🧠 Heart and mental health are connected – and both need care:
- Mental health issues can worsen heart conditions – and vice versa
- Integrated care, with the Psycho-Cardio team, offers the best support
- Treatment can include medication, therapy, mindfulness, or a mix
- The ACTIVE principles guide personalised, stepped care
- Families and carers need support too
