Abstract:
The pharmacotherapy of depression has undergone significant change in the last two decades. A new generation of antidepressant agents has displaced older drugs as first-line therapies for depression. The clinician that seeks optimal outcomes for treatment of depression must be familiar with all of the available antidepressant agents. This article will discuss the pharmacologic profile of antidepressants currently marketed in the United States, identifying similarities and differences that have clinical relevance in the management of depression.

Abstract:
Antidepressants have been successfully used for chronic pain syndromes for approximately 30 years. One theory is that analgesic action is secondary to the antidepressant effects of the medications. Placebo-controlled trials have documented that antidepressants treat neuropathic pain, musculoskeletal pain, chronic pain, and cancer pain. The most frequently studied antidepressant for pain is amitriptyline. Other antidepressants that have shown analgesic activity include imipramine, citalopram, paroxetine, nortriptyline, desipramine, and mianserin. Fluoxetine and trazodone have not been shown to

Abstract:
Hypericum perforatum, more commonly known as St. John's wort, is an herbal product that has been utilized as an antidepressant in Europe for many years. This product has become popular in the United States as an alternative to traditional antidepressants. Due to the fact that St. John's wort is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), many questions exist about the safety and efficacy of this product. This article will provide a review of the history, pharmacology, and safety profile of St. John' wort, as well as its efficacy in the treatment of major depressive disorder.

Abstract:
Depression is a common mental disease, and it is one of the most crippling diseases in the world. Although current pharmacotherapies contribute to the treatment of depression, the high incidence of a partial responses or no responses, and delayed onset of the antidepressants, make many patients to experience unsatisfactory results from treatment. In view of the high suicide rate during the period of drug onset, it is critical to find antidepressant drugs with rapid onset for the treatment of depression. This paper mainly reviews some drugs that have rapid antidepressant effect and their mechan

Abstract:
AbstractThe use of antidepressants for alcoholism in humans has been a matter of controversy in recent years. Despite the existence of an important co-morbidity for depression and alcoholism, some studies suggest that the use of antidepressants could worsen the prognosis of alcoholism. However, there is a lack of studies in animal models exploring this phenomenon. In the present study, we show how the 15-d treatment with fluoxetine (10 mg/kg) or venlafaxine (50 mg/kg) affected alcohol deprivation effect (ADE) and subsequent alcohol consumption. Initially, fluoxetine reduced ADE and venlafaxine

Abstract:
Background: The potential value of lithium treatment in particular aspects of unipolar major depressive disorder remains uncertain. Methods: With reports of controlled trials identified by systematic searching of Medline, Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO literature databases, we summarized responses with lithium and controls followed by selective random-effects meta-analyses. Results: We identified 36 reports with 39 randomized controlled trials: six for monotherapy and 12 for adding lithium to antidepressants for acute major depression, and 21 for long-term treatment. Data for monotherapy of ac

Abstract:
Background: Successful treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) can be challenging, and failures ("treatment-resistant depression" [TRD]) are frequent. Steps to address TRD include increasing antidepressant dose, combining antidepressants, adding adjunctive agents, or using nonpharmacological treatments. Their relative efficacy and tolerability remain inadequately tested. In particular, the value and safety of increasingly employed second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) and new esketamine, compared to lithium as antidepressant adjuncts remain unclear.

Objectives: Antidepressants are the most commonly prescribed psychiatric medication but concern has been raised about significant increases in their usage in high income countries. We aimed to quantify antidepressant prevalence, incidence, adherence and predictors of use in the adult population. Methods: The study record-linked administrative prescribing and morbidity data to the Generation Scotland cohort ( N = 11,052), between 2009 and 2016. Prevalence and incidence of any antidepressant use was determined. Antidepressant adherence was measured using Proportion of Days Covered and Medication

Abstract:
Optimal levels of the bioactive folate are necessary for maintaining proper brain and body functioning. Folate deprivation and impaired folate metabolism are clinically associated with defects in the developing nervous system. Numerous studies implicate a deficiency of bioactive folate with an increased risk of major depressive disorder and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Bioactive forms of folate, particularly L-methylfolate, have been found to augment the therapeutic efficacy of antidepressants in patients with major depressive disorder, who fail to adequately respond to standard therapies

This network meta-analysis was conducted to compare the predictive value of eight SNPs on the efficacy of antidepressants in major depressive disorder (MDD), including 5-HTTLPR, 5HTR2A (rs6311, rs6314, rs7997012 and rs6313), 5HTR2A (rs6295), BDNF (rs6265) and 5HTTSTin2. Databases were searched for related studies published up to December 2019. A total of 16 studies were included in this study. The predictive value were evaluated by the use of the odd ratios (OR) and drawing surface under the cumulative ranking curves (SUCRA).

Abstract:
Although newer cyclic antidepressants have been introduced over the past several years, the tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) continue to be the leading cause of morbidity from drug overdose in the United States. Overdose features depend on the particular cyclic antidepressant ingested and its pharmacological properties, and can include CNS depression, cardiac arrhythmias, hypotension, seizures, and anticholinergic symptomatology. Life-threatening symptomatology almost always begins within 2 hours, and certainly within 6 hours, after arrival to the emergency department. Plasma TCA levels are un
