Japanese researchers have identified three types of depression, one of which is untreatable with the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), the most commonly prescribed medication for the condition.
The three distinct subtypes of depression were characterized by two main factors: functional connectivity patterns synchronized between different regions of the brain and childhood trauma experience.
Specifically, the brain’s functional connectivity in regions involving the...

Podcast: The Importance of Innovation in Suicide Prevention
Despite all the efforts being made in suicide awareness and prevention, death by suicide is still rampant in society.
