I really don't undertand it. I would think that if berberine was patentable, it would probably make a more effective antidepressant than most currently available agents.
I contend that modern psychiatry really has no inclination to actually seriously treat clincal depression. IF they did, there would be serious study of these agents. There are other agents too like reveratrol (with dual reuptake / MAOI action), which is highly potent in animal models of depression. Oh, with the side effect of possibly significantly reducing co-morbidity.
When I see agents like this, which get zero clinical airplay, I often wonder who actually cares about getting patients well.
