"Hot Topic: The Surprising Link Between Body Temperature and Depression"

A new study suggests a link between higher body temperature and clinical depression, with data from over 20,000 participants showing a noticeable association. While the exact cause-and-effect relationship is still unclear, researchers are conducting human trials to explore temperature-based interventions, such as sauna therapy, as potential treatments for depression. The findings could lead to unique body-based treatments for depression that don't involve medications or traditional psychotherapy.
