Suicides

Suicide is a major health concern and is the second leading cause of death among teenagers. Researchers have studied the neurobiology behind this health concern by studying platelets, lymphocytes and cerebral spinal fluid of suicidal patients and from the postmortem of those who died due to this. It was seen that there is an abnormality in serotonergic mechanism, that is, increased serotonin receptor subtypes and decreased serotonin metabolites like 5- hydroxy indoleacetic acid. There is also abnormality in phosphoinositide and adenylyl cyclase signaling mechanisms. There is also dysregulation in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and abnormalities in neurotrophic receptors and neurotrophy. Several studies also indicate abnormalities in neuroimmune functions.
