Summary

This study looks at how loneliness impacts recovery from depression in 200 adults receiving inpatient psychiatric care. Participants will fill out questionnaires, take part in interviews, and provide blood, saliva, and stool samples at the start of treatment, at discharge, and three months later. The goal is to see if lonely and non-lonely people respond differently to treatment and to understand the biological and social factors involved.
