This project will establish objective markers for detecting early signs of depression. These markers are crucial in enabling early intervention to limit the course of depression. They will also benefit the development of prevention strategies, since they provide a means to identify high risk individuals. Currently there exists no simple and objective test or set of markers that can detect the early signs of depression. The available tests provide information relevant to the later-stage of clinical depression only. In this regard, non-invasive and objective markers are urgently required to limit the burden of depression. In Australia, $3.3 billion in productivity and 12 million working days are lost each year as a result of depression.

这个项目将建立客观的标记物来检测抑郁症的早期症状。这些标记对于早期干预以限制抑郁症的病程至关重要。它们还将有利于制定预防战略，因为它们提供了一种识别高风险个人的手段。目前还没有一种简单而客观的测试或一套标记物可以检测出抑郁症的早期症状。现有的测试只提供与临床抑郁症晚期相关的信息。在这方面，迫切需要非侵入性和客观的标记来限制抑郁症的负担。在澳大利亚，由于抑郁症，每年损失33亿美元的生产力和1200万个工作日。
