Not necessarily. Researchers were investigating the antidepressant effects of BDNF. After injections of the neuropeptide, an antiedepressant effect was clear within a day or so.
BDNF is pro convulsant, and also regulates neuronal activity. So yes the downstream effects would be increased neurogenesis, but there do seem to be acute effects of increased leveles of the substance, or so the studies suggest.
