E160 - (CME) Novel Agents for Treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
NEI Podcast
The Role of Physical Activity in Depression
Even if one has very high genetic risk, what lives healthier lifestyle can substantially reduce the risk of developing depression. In my sense, based on our conversation so far andy is we need to move medications that have alternative modes of action such as glutamatergic and GABAergic transmission. But in order to do that, I think we need more data.
In this CME episode, Dr. Andrew Cutler interviews Dr. Vladimir Maletic about novel agents in development for Major Depressive Disorder or MDD.
