onedayillsailagain Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Not trying to be a hater.. But this is just another re-invention of the wheel, so common in pop-science.Endocrinology has been around for a long time, and there's a plethora of papers discussing hormonal involvement in depression.The title is just so misleading: "Scientists discover the molecule responsible for depression". No, no, no! This is a fallacy!It should be more like: "Scientists take another look at the molecule involved in depression".Moreover, this has been known, hypothesized and discussed for years! Have a Google on "Antalarmin".No offense to you goldenboy, I just get pissed off about this so-called "scientific news". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
