Objective: The present study aimed to compare the intensity of inflammation between major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder-depressive episode (BD-D) by using neutrophil to lymphocyte (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratios (PLR) as nonspecific markers for peripheral immune response, and to investigate whether and how these parameters correlate with the clinical characteristics of the depressive episodes within and between the diagnoses.
