Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, could bring on cardiovascular disease and cancer, a new study says.
The longer a person has PTSD from any traumatic event, the higher their risk of developing cardiovascular disease, according to a study published Wednesday in Journal of Neuroscience Research. The study also reported that PTSD brought on by terrorist attacks was connected to a higher prevalence of cancer.
