I just noticed that there is a drug on the "fast track" for psychosis/depression. Pretty interesting, huh? At least the FDA is acknowledging that one aspect of mental health needs immediate help. I would if you have to be diagnosed with psychosis to have this prescrived on-label. Here's the info:
Name: Corlux ®
(AKA mifepristone or RU-486)Mechanism: Glucocorticoid receptor type II (GRII) antagonist, progesterone receptor antagonist
Manufacturer:Corcept
Use: Psychosis, depression
Status: Phase III, granted fast track status by FDA
