Abstract
Depression is one of the most disabling mental disorders, with the second highest social burden; its prevalence has grown by more than 27% in recent years, affecting 246 million in 2021. Despite the wide range of antidepressants available, more than 50% of patients show treatment-resistant depression. In this review, we summarized the progress in developing a new augmentation strategy based on combining the N-terminal fragment of Galanin (1-15) and SSRI-type antidepressants in animal models.
期刊介绍:
Current Neuropharmacology aims to provide current, comprehensive/mini reviews and guest edited issues of all areas of neuropharmacology and related matters of neuroscience. The reviews cover the fields of molecular, cellular, and systems/behavioural aspects of neuropharmacology and neuroscience.
The journal serves as a comprehensive, multidisciplinary expert forum for neuropharmacologists and neuroscientists.
