"Correlation Found Between Depression and Elevated Body Temperature"
TL;DR
A new study suggests that people with depression have higher body temperatures, potentially opening up new avenues for managing the disorder. Researchers at UC San Diego and UC San Francisco analyzed data from over 20,000 participants and found a correlation between the severity of depression symptoms and body temperatures. The study raises questions about whether high body temperature is a cause or a result of depression, and it hints at the possibility of using heat-based treatments to alleviate depression symptoms.
