The Search for Antidepressants – An Integrative View of Drug Discovery (PDF Book)
Overview
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a chronic and recurring mental illness, affecting millions of people worldwide and causing significant disability. Although approved antidepressant medications improve symptoms, they do not cure the illness and only a fraction of patients achieve remission with their use. Despite two decades of research, innovative drugs for MDD have been slow to emerge and the field faces a “translational gap.” The Search for Anti Depressants delves into the pathophysiological mechanisms of MDD and explores promising strategies for developing novel antidepressants. This volume is an essential resource for mental health professionals, students, and neuroscientists interested in the neurobiology of MDD and the latest discoveries in antidepressant research.
