Scientists map chemical imbalances in depressed patients' blood

A major analysis of blood chemistry data has identified specific molecular disruptions linked to depression, revealing abnormalities in amino acids, neurotransmitters, and energy production. The findings could help clinicians develop better diagnostic tests and more targeted treatments for a condition affecting 280 million people worldwide.
