... In Mood Disorders and Suicide
reporter.nih.gov
This is a new study in progress now, with the goal of trying to learn about the relationship among the immune system, reward processing and suicide in participants with depression.
Abstract (Project Summary; partially paraphrased):
"Depression is among the most disabling mental health conditions and associated with profound functional impairment resulting in tremendous economic burden...
Critically, depression is one of the leading causes of suicide...
Abnormal functioning in the peripheral immune system has been linked consistently to risk for depression..."
(This is me, now, KK)
For all those of us who ask why is this happening, why me?, we can get some solace from the idea that there are caring people who are trying to find the answers to the questions, so they can work towards finding better solutions.
