Depression is widespread
Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses. It is estimated that about seven percent of all adults suffer from depression and its associated symptoms
Among other things, those affected have problems with eating, sleeping, and maintaining social contacts. Depression can last for years and lead to a massive reduction in quality of life.
Early diagnosis of high blood pressure is crucial to avoid such problems. After all, hypertension is one of the most significant risk factors for heart attacks, strokes and other dangerous diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Causes of depression
A combination of different factors facilitates the development of depression. For example, severe strokes of fate or pregnancy can play a role in the development of psychological problems.
Apart from that, however, specific genes also have a considerable influence on how high the individual’s risk of developing depression is. Therefore, a genetic test that examines the gene variations that are relevant in this context can be useful and help to counteract this risk at an early stage.
How our Depression Sensor works
For our Depression Sensor, our laboratory performs a comprehensive analysis of the sample sent to us. Eight genetic variations that play a role in depression are investigated.
We use the results to determine how likely a patient is to develop depression and whether antidepressant treatment is promising.
After a successful analysis, we prepare a detailed written report. In this report, we clearly explain how the individual risks are assessed and which preventive measures make sense.
In this way, our Depression Sensor can help to recognize the danger of depression early on and to counter the psychological problems with the right measures effectively.
