Abstract

Pharmacological treatments of depression underwent several refinements; relatively more effective ones exist nowadays. Nonetheless, dissatisfaction with depression treatments is widespread because of the poor response and resistance that is encountered by about 33% of patients. Further, concerns are raised regarding the disabling negative adverse effects of these medications (carcinogenic, cardiotoxic, diabetogenic, etc.). A search for safer and more effective treatments is highly encouraged.
