Link Between Body Temperature and Depression

A recent study has uncovered a significant correlation between body temperature and the severity of depression symptoms. Analyzing data from over 20,000 individuals across 106 countries, it was found that higher depression scores were associated with elevated body temperatures. Interestingly, a trend suggested that individuals with less daily temperature fluctuation might experience worse depression symptoms, although this finding wasn't statistically significant. While this research may not lead to immediate diagnostic methods, it opens up possibilities for innovative, non-invasive treatments to help those struggling with depression.
