People with brain aneurysms at higher risk of some mental health disorders, study finds
Fox News
People who have been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm may be more susceptible to certain mental health conditions, according to a study published by the American Heart Association.
An unruptured aneurysm occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes weak and bulges out — creating the risk of a potentially deadly rupture, per the AHA. "Brain aneurysms, like aortic aneurysms, are life-threatening if they rupture, but can be treated with appropriate therapy and/or procedures."

The effect was most seen in adults under 40 years of age, and the risk was three times greater among those who received an official mental health diagnosis.
