People with depression, anxiety may develop Alzheimer's at younger age

Beyond the most common psychiatric disorders, depression and anxiety, the study also screened for history of bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and schizophrenia. Of the 1,500 people in the study with Alzheimer’s disease, 43% had a history of depression, 32% had anxiety, 1.2% bipolar disorder, 1% post-traumatic stress disorder and 0.4% schizophrenia.
