  • A study conducted by Hugh Taylor at Yale University and his team, investigating whether some women develop mood disorders directly as a result of uterus cell migration is discussed called endotriosis which can cause severe pain and infertility affecting reproductive productivity, depression and anxiety. The team assessed the mice for 12 weeks later and found characteristic endometriosis cysts balls of tissue filled with blood in the abdominal cavities of the mice whose endometrial cells had been moved. The mice with endometriosis cysts behaved differently to those that had sham surgery and had more anxiety and they were more depressed caused by the endometriosis.
