A recent study published in a scientific journal has found that depression may be linked to an energy problem in brain cells. The study discovered that brain and blood cells in young adults with major depressive disorder produced more energy molecules at rest but had trouble increasing energy production when needed. This imbalance may contribute to symptoms such as fatigue and low motivation.

In another breakthrough, researchers have identified a surprising blood protein pattern that may reveal Alzheimer's disease. The study found that structural differences in three blood proteins closely track the progression of the disease. By analyzing these changes in over 500 people, the team was able to distinguish healthy individuals from those with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's with impressive accuracy.
