Brain changes may suggest suicide risk - Suicidal behaviour linked to serotonin receptors.

news @ nature.com - Brain changes may suggest suicide risk - Suicidal behaviour linked to serotonin receptors.: "
People who commit suicide show distinct changes in their brain that are independent of any mental illness they may be suffering from, according to studies presented on 15 October at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in Atlanta, Georgia. Such work could lead to new tests for suicide risk, say some of those behind the research."
