Abstract
A promising area of research on depression is its interactions with the immune system, taking place within the field of psychoneuroimmunology. Indications of brain-immune system interactions exist at different levels of organizations: in animal studies, stressful events can disorganize the immune response and increase susceptibility or even mortality to experimentally induced tumours [1]. In humans, immune function may be distorted by chronic or acute emotional conditions, triggered by stressful life events. Major life changes (e.g. divorce) have been found to correlate with immune system deficiencies [2].
