If you are interested: make a research in PuMed under the author F. Holsboer (published a lot about CRF/CRH and mood disorders)
Unfortunately it isnt the HPA-axis alone causing depression !
> I've heard that elevated glucocortical hormone (the bodies cortisone)level is what may be responsible in the end for depression and Hippocampus damage. In a roundabout way SSRI's and Tricyclics seem to increase the uptake of glucocortical hormone I also remember hearing. Maybe there is a better way to accomplish this.
