A new study has found that people who drink coffee are more likely to be diagnosed with depression. The study, which was published in the journal "JAMA Internal Medicine," found that people who drank more than four cups of coffee per day were 15% more likely to be diagnosed with depression than those who drank less than one cup per day. The study also found that people who drank decaffeinated coffee were not at an increased risk of depression. The researchers say that the link between coffee and depression could be due to the fact that caffeine can interfere with sleep, which is known to be a risk factor for depression. They also say that coffee may increase levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that has been linked to depression. The study's findings are consistent with previous research that has linked coffee consumption to an increased risk of depression. However, it is important to note that the study was observational, which means that it cannot prove that coffee caused the increased risk of depression. More research is needed to confirm the link between coffee and depression and to determine if there is a causal relationship.
