In animal models, both magnesium and zinc have rapid acting antidepressant effects (forced swim test), which are dependant on the NMDA receptor. Like the rapid acting antidepressant Ketamine, magnesium and zinc act as NMDA antagonists. Depression is often associated with overactive excitatory neurotransmission (glutamate), which NMDA antagonists can counteract.
