Patients with Rheumathoid #Arthritis suffer about 2 to 4 times more from #depression compared to the general population. What causes this? And are we able to replicate this in mice?

Modern industrial processes, agricultural practices and domestic waste result in all sorts of chemicals getting into our waters. CPC is widely used. How does it affect the fish?
