I have thought about suicide many times, but it seems that a link between suicide and depression was discovered at the DNA level.
Sputnik Japan says,
Swedish researchers have succeeded in elucidating the tendency of self-harm and suicidal ideation at the DNA (gene) level. The medical health content "Medical Xpress" reported.
And that.
According to a questionnaire survey of 157,000 people, the study targeted healthy people and people with mental illness such as depression, regarding height, weight, blood pressure, eating habits, exercise habits, and hereditary habits. He collected data such as whether he had any illness, and in the questionnaire, he investigated whether he had been worried about "the meaninglessness of life" or "the idea of self-harm". In other words , is there a possibility of suicidal ideation or suicide behavior ? It is that.
So, when I analyzed the answer and the gene genome of the subject, it was found that three regions of DNA were involved in suicidal ideation and self-harm . And it has been pointed out that the area is also related to depression and anxiety disorders .
The relationship between depression and anxiety disorders and suicide is at the genetic level! When it comes to
Is it possible to reduce depression and suicide by genetic manipulation and gene therapy?
Researchers will probably push forward with the same thoughts. I have high expectations for future research.
I have been worried about depression and suicide, so I hope that everyone will be free from such suffering as much as possible.
I will introduce three related articles, so please read them if you like.
