wsj article on depression

I can't seem to find a link to it but the wall sreet journal carried an article today about new medical approaches to depression titled:
Targeting Depression: Some Promising Treatments Take Different Path Than Prozac, Aim at Body's Response to Stress.
In the article they make the point that stress causes the increase of production of a protien called CRF, which in turn triggers the release of hormones, including cortisol which can predispose people to to depression by damaging nerve-cell connections.
AD sales for last year were $12.6 bilion.
Anyway, I will watch for a reprint. I have a hard copy.
