A Blood Test for Depression

In san diego doctors have figured out another way to test for depression. they figured out that they can find depression in the blood pressure. The test measures changes in 10 biomarkers in the blood and feeds the results into what is called an algoritht. This then assesses four different body systems to compute the final score. With this they are able to show symptoms of diseases at its earliest possible form witch can lead to getting help before it turns serious in anyway. But with this only about 50% are diagnosed and treated.
