TL;DR
The results of PBR depletion in adolescent suicide are in accordance with the findings in patients with generalized anxiety disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder and lend further support to the role of P BR in human response to chronic stress in adolescent Suicide.
Abstract
Our results of PBR depletion in adolescent suicide are in accordance with the findings in patients with generalized anxiety disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder and lend further support to the role of PBR in human response to chronic stress in adolescent suicide.
