Inflammatory markers are elevated not only in a subgroup of patients with depression but also in patients with other neuropsychiatric disorders including anxiety disorders and schizophrenia.
“inflammatory markers are elevated not only in a subgroup of patients with depression30,31 but also in patients with other neuropsychiatric disorders including anxiety disorders and schizophrenia32,33.”
From The role of inflammation in depression: from evolutionary imperative to modern treatment target (2016) · cites this paper as [31]
The Inflammation section (page unavailable) says that only subgroups of patients with any given psychiatric disease have increased inflammatory markers and discusses depression and schizophrenia. The Trust But Verify section says these markers are elevated across a variety of psychiatric disorders. The paper discusses anxiety as a symptom of inflammation, but does not specifically report elevated markers in patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
