Observational study shows higher hsCRP levels linked to thoughts of death in mood disorders, suggesting an early biomarker for suicidality.

Higher hscrp levels correlate with thoughts of death, indicating a potential transdiagnostic inflammatory biomarker in mood disorders.
The study revealed that 62.2% of participants experienced thoughts of death recently, with notable links to hsCRP levels.
Logistic regression analysis identified hsCRP as a significant predictor of suicidal ideation among affective disorders.
The findings highlight a need for longitudinal studies to assess the implications of inflammation in managing suicidality risk.

Orsolini et al. (2025) studied this question.
