It is an interesting study.
> "The researchers found that participants who wore the nicotine patch for at least eight days experienced a significant decline in their depression assessment rating scores."
Remember, though, it has not demonstrated how chronic treatement would affect these people. 8 days is not long enough to allow many types of receptors to reregulate themselves.
The URL provided no longer works, so we don't really know the length of time the study ran for.
