Geez, I thought that Florian Holsboer had laid the CRF-antagonists research to rest. The only use they would be is in the initial treatment phase of depression, until standard therapies had a chance to kick in. Adjusting cortisol levels to relieve depressive symptoms just doesn't work.
I also seem to remember that CRF-antagonists were tried (unsuccessfully) as anxiolytics.
