Does Diet Matter? The Use of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) and Other Dietary Supplements in Inflammation-Associated Depression

TL;DR: This review will examine an emerging area in psychiatry, that of dietary supplements and the diet in general to treat depressive symptoms, and inflammation in depression, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, probiotics and folic acid are three supplements that demonstrate the ability to target inflammation and other underlying systems in depression.

Transcriptomic signatures of psychomotor slowing in peripheral blood of depressed patients: evidence for immunometabolic reprogramming.

TL;DR: In this article, microarray data were analyzed in a primary cohort of 88 medically-stable, unmedicated, ambulatory major depression patients and two differential co-expression modules enriched for oxidative stress and mitochondrial degradation were associated with improvements in psychomotor reaction time (p < 0.05).

Canonical TGF-β signaling regulates the relationship between prenatal maternal depression and amygdala development in early life.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the role of the canonical transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling in linking prenatal maternal depressive symptoms and the amygdala volumes from birth to 6 years of age.

Sex hormones and immune system: A possible interplay in affective disorders? A systematic review.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review of the evidence supporting a possible association between sex hormones and inflammatory biomarkers in people with affective disorders is presented, which highlights the need to investigate the interplay between sex hormone and immune system in affective disorder.

Neuroinflammation as a Common Denominator of Complex Diseases (Cancer, Diabetes Type 2, and Neuropsychiatric Disorders).

TL;DR: The role played by neuroinflammation has been acknowledged in different disease entities as mentioned in this paper, including cancer, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and neuropsychiatric disorders (focusing on mood disorders).

An inventory for measuring depression

TL;DR: The difficulties inherent in obtaining consistent and adequate diagnoses for the purposes of research and therapy have been pointed out and a wide variety of psychiatric rating scales have been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new depression scale designed to be sensitive to change.

TL;DR: The construction of a depression rating scale designed to be particularly sensitive to treatment effects is described, and its capacity to differentiate between responders and non-responders to antidepressant treatment was better than the HRS, indicating greater sensitivity to change.

Development of a Rating Scale for Primary Depressive Illness

TL;DR: This is an account of further work on a rating scale for depressive states, including a detailed discussion on the general problems of comparing successive samples from a ‘population’, the meaning of factor scores, and the other results obtained.

A Meta-Analysis of Cytokines in Major Depression

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of studies measuring cytokine concentration in patients with major depression reports significantly higher concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6 in depressed subjects compared with control subjects, strengthening evidence that depression is accompanied by activation of the IRS.
Journal ArticleDOI

The HPA axis in major depression: classical theories and new developments

TL;DR: It is shown that hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is one of the most consistent biological findings in major depression psychiatry, but the mechanisms underlying this abnormality are still unclear.
