The Future
we are far from the discovery of an ideal regimen. Gastrointestinal, weight gain, sexual dysfunction etc. are major side
effect.
With the rapidly increasing information about depression and associated research many potential drugs can be identified
and validated in near future. This would lead to discontinuation of side effects, quick onset of action and most
importantly, improved treatments for nonresponders.
Some timely examples of recent advances and opportunity in depression have been reviewed here.
