根据美国国家精神健康研究中心的一项调查,美国约11.2%的13～18岁的青少年在生命的某个阶段曾经历过严重的抑郁症。日前,来自英国剑桥大学精神医学系的研究人员发现了首个能预测青少年男性发生临床抑郁症可能性的生物标记物。这一发现可以促进对疾病的早期治疗而减少抑郁症人群的数量。研究者收集了数百个青少年的唾液样本,并测量其中的皮质醇水平。同时,还调查了受试青少年的抑郁症状。研究者发
According to a survey by the National Center for Mental Health, about 11.2% of teenagers aged 13 to 18 in the United States experienced severe depression at some stage in their lives. Researchers from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge in England recently discovered the first biomarker to predict the likelihood of clinical depression in adolescent males. This finding can help reduce the number of people with depression for early treatment of the disease. Researchers collected hundreds of teenage saliva samples and measured the level of cortisol in them. At the same time, also investigated the depressive symptoms of adolescents. Researchers made
