Scientists have found the cause of depression and suicide

One possible cause of suicide and depression, according to Canadian scientists, is the excess of a certain protein that. With a gene that is responsible for the associated alarm Experts compared the brain of a man who committed suicide, the human brain, died of a heart attack committed. In the brain of a man who committed suicide, the researchers found a protein that is associated with a gene that regulates stress. With an excess of protein, according to experts, the gene "off", and as a result people do not. Able to effectively manage stress and anxiety For the first time, the scientists were able to show that the excess protein associated with depression and suicidality. According to the professor of physiology and pharmacology at the University of Western Ontario Michael Poulter, is a completely new direction in research, few researchers are working around the world on these issues. The study was published in the current issue of the journal "Biological Psychiatry". Scientists have not yet figured out why some people have the level of this protein in the brain is higher than thought in others. According to Professor Poulter, this may be due to the exposure to a person before, and how different people experienced to overcome stress. The exam can be a new option for the treatment of depression, for example, with drugs that suppress the activity of a protein associated with "fear gene."
