Program Overview
Before the introduction of fluoxetine (Prozac) in 1987, there were few molecuar entities in the treatment arsenal for depression and the drug molecules that were available were limited in use by their side effects. Since 1987, the treatment options for depression has exploded with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRI), and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) among others. With a large number of choices available, it is important to have some criteria to make the best choice of drug molecule to treat a patient's depressive symptoms Using knowledge of the positive effects on mood of certain key neurotransmitters can be one tool used in making an appropriate antidepressant choice. Because there are limits to the neurotransmitter theory of depression, it is also important to look to the future and become familiar with alternate theories of depression and the treatment that may soon be available based on these theories.
