CRP and depressive symptom measurement: Jokela et al. found that the level of CRP was positively correlated with a range of depression symptoms, particularly tiredness, lack of energy, sleep problems, and changes in appetite; the level of CRP was also associated with the depressive cognitive and emotional symptoms (e.g., anhedonia, depressed mood, reduced feelings of self-worth, poor concentration, and suicidal ideation) [23].
