The inflammatory biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP) measures systemic inflammation and has been shown to be increased in patients with mood disorders such as depression. The objective of this study was to determine the association between self-reported mood disorders with CRP levels in a representative sample of the Canadian population using the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) data 2013-2014.
