Ezogabine, an FDA approved anti-convulsant, appears to significantly reduce symptoms in those with major depressive disorder.
Using neuroimaging technology, researchers have identified three different subtypes of depressive disorder, including one that seems to be untreatable by common SSRI antidepressants.
A new study reports aerobic exercise can have antidepressant effects for patients with major depressive disorder.
According to researchers, a small cohort of MDD patients had significant improvements in sleep quality and reduced daytime sleepiness following treatment with the antidepressant Vortioxetine.
Researchers report the hypothalamus is, on average, five percent larger in those with mood disorders like major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder, than it is in those without depression.
A new case study reports swimming in cold, open water may help those with major depressive disorder to gain control of their symptoms and possibly live medication free.

Researchers have identified the role Klf9 plays in the brain's response to stress. The study reports elevated levels of the protein were discovered in the hippocampus of women with MDD who faced stressful events.
Researchers have developed a new computational model of major depressive disorder. The model reveals older memories, as well as short term memories, are affected by major depressive disorder. Researchers say how long the memory deficits go back depends on how long the depressive episode lasts.
