Depression
Depression affects about 350 million people around the world. People who have the disease feel an unparalleled sadness, even if there is no apparent reason. They feel depressed all the time and even lose interest in activities that previously brought satisfaction and pleasure.
Depression can be classified into three different degrees:
- Light;
- Moderate;
- Serious.

The study of this new method was published in the journal Science, the team that developed this
antidepressant, said that it has the ability to act within two hours of its use. The developers themselves promised that this antidepressant works unlike any other on the market.Antidepressants usually take about a month before the patient shows signs of improvement. The most common antidepressants are those that are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. These drugs allow neurotransmitters to interact with neurons longer. The neuropsychological impacts take about a month to take effect. In addition, the accumulation of serotonin worsens the symptoms of depression.
The new method to combat this disease, instead of inhibiting all serotonin transporters, activates hormone-specific transporters to allow normal functioning of the nucleus and neurons.
Those responsible for researching this new method discovered that the transporter and nitric oxide synthase combine. Then they injected a chemical directly into the dorsal nucleus of rodents to separate the transporter and nitric oxide synthase.
With this separation of the serotonin transporter and nitric oxide synthase, the serotonin transporter serotonin increased and the level of serotonin in the nucleus decreases, sending serotonin to other parts of the brain.
So researchers discovered this new method of fighting depression, with the formula of this fast-acting antidepressant. Now, there are studies for the development of therapies with the same speed and effectiveness.
