Debt Causes Ulcers, Headaches, Depression

So, here's another reason to stay out of debt. According to an AOL-AP poll, people who have high stress debt suffer a slew of health maladies. Check them out:

_27 percent had ulcers or digestive tract problems, compared with 8 percent of those with low levels of debt stress.

_44 percent had migraines or other headaches, compared with 15 percent.

_29 percent suffered severe anxiety, compared with 4 percent.

_23 percent had severe depression, compared with 4 percent.

_6 percent reported heart attacks, double the rate for those with low debt stress.

Has anyone experienced these symptoms because of debt? How did you handle it? Did you curb spending?
