Repeat after me, correlation is not causation.

lauha,

What do you mean. The summary and the first paragraph are totally not in contradiction:

People with depression have higher body temperatures, suggesting there could be a mental health benefit to lowering the temperatures of those with the disorder, a new UC San Francisco-led study found.

The study, publishing today in Scientific Reports, doesn’t indicate whether depression raises body temperature or a higher temperature causes depression. It’s also unknown whether the higher body temperature observed in people with depression reflects decreased ability to self-cool, increased generation of heat from metabolic processes or a combination of both.

Anxiety is linked to lowered body temperature via the fight or flight response.

JoMomma,

I have lower than normal temperature and depression… check-mate?

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Ditto. I’m always sitting at 97.1F

SamVimes,

People are colder now, looking like maybe around 97.9 average. But you’re still chillier than most.
