Your Sweat May Indicate Stress, Depression

Researchers have identified chemicals in sweat that may suggest that a person suffers from extreme stress and depression.
A new screening method developed by researchers from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, yielded an accuracy of about 90%. They hope the highly effective and affordable test will improve diagnosis when access to psychiatrists is limited and prevent diagnostic inaccuracies that may happen during a screening interview.

Chula’s encouragement and support for research is excellent for teachers, students, and the public.
