Retinal nerve thickness - a predictor for clinically progressive depression
According to a new study, having a thinner retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) is related with a greater frequency of clinically significant depressed symptoms and more depressive symptoms over time. As a result, neurodegeneration may be linked to the early pathobiology of late-life depression.
This study was performed by Frank C. T. van der Heide and team, results of which are published in the Journal of American Medical Association on 16th November, 2021.
