  • Publication number: 20230333117
    Abstract: Disclosed are means and methods of identifying risk of suicide and/or suicidal ideation by assessment of immunologically related cytokines and cells. In one embodiment, a score, termed the “Campbell Score” is devised based on assessment of serum cytokines, ability of immune cells to make cytokines when stimulated ex vivo, and ability of immune cells to produce neurotransmitters when stimulated ex-vivo. In on embodiment the concentration of interleukin-6 is utilized as a means of assessing suicidal propensity along, and/or in combination with metabolites of the enzyme indolamine 2,3 deoxygenase.
