A new study has shed some light on this mystery by showing that antidepressants trigger physical changes in the brain that enhance its ability to adapt and learn over time.Get a daily digest of the latest news in tech, science, and technology, delivered right to your mailbox.

The results showed that the volunteers who took the antidepressant gradually increased synapses in two key brain regions: the neocortex and the hippocampus. The neocortex is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as perception, emotion, and reasoning, while the hippocampus is involved in memory and learning. The volunteers who took the placebo did not show any change in synapses.
The researchers explained that their findings indicated that antidepressants increased synapses in brain areas crucial for depression. They also suggested that synapses may play a role in how antidepressants work and that they may be able to develop new drugs that target synapses more directly. They further implied that synapses take time to grow and mature, which could explain why antidepressants take weeks to have an effect.
The study is one of the first to provide human evidence for the link between antidepressants and brain plasticity. It may also help to understand one of the mechanisms of how antidepressants work. The researchers hope their work will inspire more research on synapses and depression and lead to better treatments for this common mental disorder.However, as discussed the current antidepressant drugs have many limitations, such as delayed onset, side effects, and low response rate.
They claimed that their drug has a dual nature: it acts as both an antidepressant and an anti-stress agent. They said that this could be beneficial for patients who have to cope with stressful situations during treatment. They also hoped that their drug would open up new possibilities for treating depression more effectively and safely.
