People often consider mental health as separate from the health of the rest of the body. This is far from true.
MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS including depression, schizophrenia, and anorexia show a link to biological markers detected in routine blood tests, according to our new study of genetic, biochemical, and psychiatric data from almost a million people. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abj8969
The research will increase our understanding of what causes mental illness and may help to identify new treatments.
