A member asked:
Are there any statistics on how common broken heart syndrome in people as young as 19?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Relationship problems and a "broken heart" may be as common at 19, as it is at 45 or beyond. However there is no recognized psychiatric diagnosis of broken heart syndrome. Talk with friends, get support and be gentle and loving with yourself and you will heal from the emotional pain. If you are depressed or having significant difficulty functioning, seek therapy from a MH professional.

No: There are no statistics for that age group. Be reassured though, it's a very rare syndrome. I've been a physician for 40 years (a cardiologist for 30) and have only seen 1 case.
