meganmaySat, Dec 29, 2007 Perhaps variety of anti-depressants he's talking about are just now in the works and not yet on the market, but this is a quote from the book:
Other scientists have discovered that antidepressants work by stimulating neurogenesis (at least in rodents), implying that depression is ultimately caused by a decrease in the amount of new neurons, and not by a lack of serotonin. A new class of anti-depressants is being developed that targets the neurogenesis pathway.
to resolve the misunderstanding, i'm more interested in how inducing the growth of new brain cells makes people happy than in prescription medications that may or may not get you there.
