Depressive Disorder

Depressive disorder isn’t transmissible in the way we’re used to, but there’s evidence that suggests that depression can be shared in groups. as Dr. Nikola Djordjevic, MD, co-founder of LoudCloudHealth.com has said, “there is some evidence that shows how individuals that are suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD) might affect those around them”.

Even more, those who are in close proximity of friends and family that might suffer from depression can start developing symptoms of depression of their own.

If it can ACTUALLY escalate to MDD it is still unknown. Even so, the fact that it can affect others is enough to call it how it is: contagious.

Breast Cancer

You can’t get breast cancer just by hugging someone who’s suffering from it. But there is evidence that shows how this condition can be transmissible through organ donation.

Even more, there is one case that dates back to 2018 that’s been published in the “American Journal of Transplantation”, that shows how four individuals who received kidneys, lungs, and a liver of a single donor developed breast cancer.

They developed it anywhere from 6 to 16 years after their surgeries.
