What Can Be Done About Depression

There have been several classes of drugs that have shown clear efficacy in treating the symptoms that define depression. All of these drugs have something in common. They all affect the action of one or more of a few neurotransmitters in the brain, specifically, norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine. Although these transmitters are closely related to each other and, in fact, convert from one to another, they stimulate somewhat different receptor sites in the brain.

Depression

Do you or someone you know battle with depression?
