Publisher's Synopsis
The successful treatment of depression with carefully chosen and administered drugs has led to a much greater understanding of neural mechanisms and of the activity of drugs in the brain. This knowledge has been vital for the development of ever more carefully targeted preparations.;Serotonin-reuptake inhibition has been found to produce highly beneficial effects in the treatment of depression. The papers in this book examine the mechanism of serotonin-reuptake inhibition and the role of a new inhibitor.
