TL;DR: Correlation of microbiome features with host quality of life and depression identified specific taxa and microbial pathways in two independent, large population cohorts, identifying links between microbial neuroactive potential and depression.

TL;DR: A systematic review of studies using electrocardiography to derive heart rate and heart rate variability during stress in patients with clinical depression focused on well-validated stress tasks to minimize confounding effects due to the nature of the stressor.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed percentages of circulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells with focus on T helper cell subsets (memory T helper cells, Th1, Th2, Th17 and T regulatory cells) in a large and well-matched cohort of 153 patients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and 153 age and sex matched controls.

TL;DR: A subtle partial T cell defect was present in bipolar offspring from adolescence through adulthood, and the dynamic change of inflammatory and regulatory T cell subsets suggests a high inflammatory state during adolescence, a reducedinflammatory state during young adulthood and a virtually normalized state at adulthood.

TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis of 71 studies with 646,766 participants from 18 countries was performed to quantify the degree of comorbidity between Attention Deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Bipolar Disorder (BD).
