Detecting intention of suicide by blood test

Blood analysis of people suffering from severe depression, one can detect those who are so depressed and desperate that they intend to commit suicide. American scientists confirm this.

Medical practitioners have monitored and treated 122 mental patients suffering from severe depressive symptoms, of which, it is known that 29 people have a strong intention to commit suicide, 45 people sometimes appear in the head or obsessed with this intention.

The rest of the people who know their illnesses, who are difficult to treat according to the advice of their doctor to return to normal life, are treated as a control group.

Medics at the University of California Medical Practice Hospital have found in the blood of people who do not want to live anymore, there are markers that show inflammation.

The more severe the inflammatory process in the blood is, the more likely it is for the patient to seek death or to demonstrate very specific suicidal behaviors. The researchers assumed that suicidal intent triggered a stress response and promoted the synthesis of citoxin.

The results can help pharmacists find new drugs to treat mental illnesses (depression, stress .) and also build a test method to detect people who are frustrated or some shock in life leads to suicidal intention.
