Higher Interleukin 13 differentiates patients with a positive history of suicide attempts in major depressive disorder

Background: Every 40 seconds one person dies from suicide worldwide, half of which are related to depression. Neuroinflammation has been reported in neuropsychiatric conditions, including major depressive disorder (MDD). Preliminary findings suggested a link between inflammation and suicidal behavio...

Neuroinflammation has been reported in neuropsychiatric conditions, including major depressive disorder (MDD). Preliminary findings suggested a link between inflammation and suicidal behavior.
