Depression, schizophrenia and other mental health conditions affect 1 in 4 people in their lifetime, but mechanisms underlying these conditions are poorly understood. New research has linked the body's immune response with schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and bipolar disorder.

The findings could pave the way for better treatments of some mental health conditions.

Apr 23rd 2025, 11:20

Smartphones may often feel like a source of stress, feeding us an endless stream of bad news and social comparison. But what if they could also be the solution? A team of researchers believes they can be. The team has developed a smartphone app that delivers core techniques of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) -- a proven treatment for depression and anxiety -- straight into the hands of users, and tested it in the largest-ever individually randomized trial of its kind. Their resilience training app, called RESiLIENT, was tested on nearly 4,000 adults across Japan experiencing subthreshold depression -- a form of low-level but persistent depressive symptoms that doesn't meet criteria for major depressive disorder but can still be debilitating. This condition affects an estimated 11% of people worldwide and often goes untreated.
