For those who endure the illness of ME/CFS, Depression can be yet another terrible symptom which blights the life of sufferers worldwide. There are so many anti-depressants which a GP can administer, but each one may carry some unwanted side effects.
Now Scientists in India from the Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI) have developed another drug which they reckon is free from side effects.
(…) ” ‘The new drug has been found to be safer that the existing anti-depression drugs’, said a senior CDRI scientist at the Clinical Division.”
(…) “Elaborating on the drug, he said, ‘The drug named ’sent propezene’ has much faster action than the existing drugs, which begin to show results only after two or three weeks of use.’ ”
(…) “Nearly 16 per cent of the world’s population is affected by depression, with most in the 20-25 age group, according to a CDRI study.”
