Article on telomere length in depression

Posted by Tomatheus on April 10, 2012, at 7:45:00

I thought that I would post this article for anyone who's interested in learning more about the role that telomeres may play in depressive disorders and other psychiatric disorders. Telomeres are strands on the ends of chromosomes that tend to shorten with age, and several studies have found short telomere length to be correlated with depressive disorders. I actually touched on the relationship between telomeres and depression in a Psycho-Babble post that I wrote less than a week ago, and I think that this article explains in greater depth some of the research that's been done on the role that telomeres may play in depressive disorders. So, if you're interested, check it out:
