Each year on the same date, so as to mark the date of its creation, the World Health Organisation alerts politicians and the media to a public health problem. This year it is depression which is in the spotlight. This affects individuals of any age from any country in the world. If depression can be treated, there is still the risk of relapse many years after remission.
“In the worst cases, depression can lead to suicide, which is now the second leading cause of death in 15-29 year olds.” – World Health Organisation –
Depression remains an enigma for research (what are its genetic roots, what is happening in the brain, are certain people more vulnerable than others…?). Therefore, many Inserm researchers are dedicated to studying depression. This is the case of Antoine Pelissolo (coming out of depression), of Cédric Lemogne (vulnerability to depression and the somatic impact of depression) and also of Marie Odile Krebs (depression in the young).
