Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have developed a new type of antidepressant, which they’re hoping could cure depression in 24 hours with minimal side effects.
Although the drug has so far only been tested on mice, researchers are positive that it could provide a significant breakthrough in how depression is treated.
In fact, lead researcher Dr. Scott Thompson, PhD, Professor and Chair of the Department of Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UM SOM) commented: ‘These compounds produced the most dramatic effects in animal studies that we could have hoped for.’
