Abstract
A method for treating depression using a biomarker includes measuring a level of phosphoethanolamine in a blood sample collected from a subject, comparing the level of phosphoethanolamine in the blood sample with a predetermined threshold, in response to the level of phosphoethanolamine in the blood sample being below the predetermined threshold, determining that the subject requires a treatment for depression, and treating the subject determined to suffer from depression.
