Over 20,000 participants from 106 countries participated in the study, revealing a potential avenue for innovative depression treatments through body temperature regulation.

A groundbreaking study reveals a link between higher body temperatures and depression, suggesting new treatment avenues.
The study, involving over 20,000 participants from 106 countries, found that individuals with depression tend to have higher body temperatures.
Researchers suggest that managing body temperature could alleviate depressive symptoms, with heat exposure treatments like saunas showing promise.
The study does not conclusively determine whether depression causes higher body temperatures or vice versa, indicating the need for further research.
This discovery opens up potential for innovative depression treatments focusing on body temperature regulation.
