That was a very interesting article - hopeful, too, with it's new methods of detecting depression and evaluating improvement. I would be very interested in hearing whether there are any drugs being studied for their effects on melanocortin.
This article emphasizes the role of chronic stress in causing depression. Does anyone know of contemporary studies of the role of cortisol? The ones I have in my file are from several years ago.
Thanks for posting!
