Integrating Interleukin-6 into depression diagnosis and treatment

TL;DR: By examining the contribution of both peripheral and central IL-6 to manifestations of stress-related symptomatology, this work hopes to broaden the way the field thinks about diagnosing and treating mood disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Depression Heterogeneity and Its Biological Underpinnings: Toward Immunometabolic Depression

TL;DR: It is illustrated that such biological dysregulations map more consistently to atypical behavioral symptoms reflecting altered energy intake/expenditure balance and may moderate the antidepressant effects of standard or novel therapeutic approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human BDNF gene: peripheral gene expression and protein levels as biomarkers for psychiatric disorders.

TL;DR: A description of the human BDNF gene structure is provided as well as a summary of clinical and preclinical evidence supporting the role of BDNF in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders and the potential use of peripheral BDNF as a biomarker for psychiatric disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Omega-3 Fatty Acids in the Prevention of Interferon-Alpha-Induced Depression: Results from a Randomized, Controlled Trial

TL;DR: EPA is effective in the prevention of depression in hepatitis C virus patients received IFN-α therapy, confirming the notion that anti-inflammatory strategies are effective antidepressants in the context of depression associated with inflammation.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
