Are Body Temperature and Depression Linked? Science Says, Yes.
Are Body Temperature and Depression Linked? Science Says, Yes.
People with depression have higher body temperatures, suggesting there could be a mental health benefit to lowering the temperatures of those with depression.
You're viewing a single thread.
I hate articles like this. Implying some sorta of causal relationship with any and all scientific papers that have a correlation between two properties. You can't write that the paper "suggests" lowering body temps would improve depression when the paper only finds a correlation between the two.
People with expensive well worn running shoes have better cardiovascular health. So let's give people well worn running shoes to improve their health.
I like this comparison because it makes me think of a company that is administering a medical trial type program to improve cardiovascular health — I'm imagining a "farm" type place, where undergrads are on treadmills, taking new, expensive running shoes and running in them until they're "well-worn". It's very silly, and I thank you for this mental image.
Aah, the mandatory "correlation in not causation" remark ;)
It's obviously causation. That's why there are so many depressed people in Hawaii and so few in Alaska.
Wait ..
