A New Breakthrough in Depression Diagnosis – Detecting MDD with a Simple Saliva or Blood Test
Discover how the new circRNA RT-PCR detection kit is revolutionizing early diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder using non-invasive saliva or plasma samples. Learn how this innovative test works and why it's more accurate than traditional methods.

What Is circRNA ?
circRNA stands for circular RNA. It’s a type of molecule found in our body that plays an important role in regulating genes. Scientists have discovered that certain circRNA molecules change when someone has depression.
Using a special test called the circRNA RT-PCR Detection Kit , doctors can now measure these changes from a small sample of plasma (blood) or saliva (spit) . This makes it easier, faster, and less stressful for patients to get tested.
How Does the Test Work?
The process is simple and fast :
- Sample Collection : Saliva or blood is collected.
- circRNA Extraction : The special RNA molecules are isolated.
- RT-PCR Testing : A lab machine reads the biomarker levels.
- Result Scoring : A score is calculated to show risk level.
The results are grouped into three categories :
Result Type | Score Range |
---|---|
Normal | Score < 20 |
Mild to Moderate | 20 ≤ Score < 35 |
Severe | Score ≥ 35 |
Keep in mind : This test helps support diagnosis, but final evaluation should always be done by a trained professional like a doctor or psychologist.
Who Can Benefit ?
- Pregnant and postpartum women.
- IT professionals, pilots, military personnel, police officers, teachers , and others under high stress.
- People with a family history of depression.
- Those who may not recognize their own symptoms.
Why Early Detection Is Important ?
In Europe alone, 11% of people will suffer from MDD at some point — that’s much higher than the global average. Yet many don’t seek help due to stigma, lack of awareness, or misdiagnosis.
With this new test, we can :

Reduce missed cases
Guide personalized treatments
Lower long-term costs and suffering



Looking Ahead !
If you or someone you know struggles with depression, remember: help is available, and now there are better tools than ever before to understand what’s going on inside the brain. Talk to a healthcare provider today and ask if a non-invasive depression test could be right for you.
