Key Words Major depressive disorder; Neurotrophic factors; Synaptic plasticity; Neurogenesis; Antidepressant drugs
Core Tip Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex disorder involving multiple neurotransmitters and brain regions. In patients with MDD, alterations may occur in the stability and functionality of these neural networks, extending beyond mere chemical imbalances. Antidepressants have neurotrophic effects that can enhance synaptic connections and stimulate the growth of new neurons, thus helping restore the function of neural networks. Synaptic and neurogenic enhancements induced by antidepressants require time to manifest and develop. These advances may yield more effective and safer antidepressants and improve the use of existing medications for patients with MDD.
