One thing to note, of course, is that the study was in mice. When drugs worked in a certain way in mice (also rabbit, ferret, dog, etc.), but not in humans (which happened very frequently)-I would ask the pharmacologists that did the study why that might be. There answer was always the same, and very profound: "people aren't mice". :>} I wish I had a dime for every anticancer drug that has worked magnificantly in mice and didn't do anything but make people sick. Anyway, the article is interesting and sort of supports and presents a mechanism for(do you agree?) the idea that depression is a progressive disease.
