Regional dampening of glutamatergic function. Its an interesting theory, but it doesn't explain everything.
For instance, would NMDA receptor modulation occur with all classes of antidepressants, both activating and calming? Aren't certain disorders like ADHD actually linked to low glutamatergic function. In which case, would an activating AD like bupropion, with utility in ADHD have the same downstream effect?
Glutamate dampening would concevably usefull for neurotic depression, but would it be usefull for atypical depression, or anergic depression? Is zinc at all usefull in atypical depression?
