In reply to Saffron - Anti depressant, posted by dessbee on December 11, 2006, at 7:12:35
It seems like saffron works as an anti-convulsant and effective in the treatment of both depression and epilepsy.

I came to think of similar effects of Lamotrigine (Lamictal); an anticonvulsant drug used in the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It is considered to have the most antidepressant potency of BPD drugs.

Maybe saffron could be used for bipolar disorders as well.
