Telomeres are an essential part of human cells that affect how our cells age. Telomeres are the caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect our chromosomes, like the plastic tips at the end of shoelaces.
Untreated Depression and Shortened Telomeres Untreated depression creates biological changes that accelerate aging and increase the risk of life-threatening diseases. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) can shorten the length of telomeres. A team led by Owen Wolkowitz, MD, professor of psychiatry at UC San Francisco (UCSF) has been studying the biological link between chronic depression and an enzyme called telomerase which is linked to shorter telomeres.
