Ok. You are right. You convinced me.
:-)
I was hasty in condemning the whole paper.
I guess the part that elicited a strong reaction in me was that in which the author of the paper proposed that antidepressants treat stress rather than depression. I interpreted it out of context. However, the rationale that there are few genes that overlap between stress and depression does little to refute the idea that one can trigger the other. Other than that, the paper offers some new perspectives that might require a change in rat study paradigms.
Poor, poor depressed rats. :-(
