--------I second that.
Given the similarities between aspects of depression and dementia (imparied memory, confusion, slowing of thought), it seems like an area worth investigating. Depression is a prodrome of senile dementia in those who go on to develop it. It makes me wonder what effect SSRIs have on overall glutamate activity.
There's already a phase III trial going on in this regard ( http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00040261 ).
