Depression is linked to immune system changes

This may seem like a "no-brainer", but many are still poorly informed about the biological dimension of depression that can be evaluated and treated with a functional medicine approach. This paper recently published in the journal Current Psychiatry Reviews is a reminder. The authors state: "Epidemiological findings indicate a connection between depressive symptoms and changes in status of the immune system in depressed patients...medical treatment of depressed patients may be adjusted by more specific knowledge about the interaction between neuroimmunology and depression."
