TLDR
In this article, the leukocyte mRNA expression levels of genes belonging to glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function (FKBP-4, FKBP-5, and GR), inflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1a, IL-1b), IL-6 and IL-7), macrophage inhibiting factor (MIF), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a), were tested before and after 8 weeks of treatment with escitalopram or nortriptyline, as part of the Genome-

What does plasma CRP tell us about peripheral and central inflammation in depression

TL;DR: CRP appears to be a peripheral biomarker that reflects peripheral and central inflammation and seems well-suited for guiding immunotherapies targeting TNF and IL-6 in patients with MDD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imaging the Role of Inflammation in Mood and Anxiety-related Disorders

TL;DR: Neuroimaging effects of inflammation on reward and threat circuitry may be used as biomarkers of inflammation for future development of novel therapeutic strategies to better treat mood and anxiety-related disorders in patients with high inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment-resistant depression and peripheral C-reactive protein.

TL;DR: It is suggested that patients with MDD stratified for proinflammatory biomarkers, like CRP, have a distinctive clinical profile that might be responsive to second-line treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs.

Flattening the Curve for Incarcerated Populations - Covid-19 in Jails and Prisons.

TL;DR: Flattening the Curve for Incarcerated Populations People caught up in the U.S. justice system have already been affected by SARS-CoV-2, and improved preparation is essential to minimizing the impact of the virus.

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.

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.
