6[blank_start]Amine[blank_end] Hypothesis
Abnormally low levels of norepinephrine and/or [blank_start]serotonin[blank_end] underlie [blank_start]depression[blank_end]
Evidence for this hypothesis includes:
Reserpine, an (old) antihypertensive drug depletes pre-synaptic stores of [blank_start]norepinephrine[blank_end] (NE) and is associated with depressive symptoms.
Autopsy studies of the brains of depressed suicide victims indicate a [blank_start]low[blank_end] level of NE and/or serotonin (5-HT) metabolism in most brain regions
Drugs found to be beneficial act to enhance NE or 5-HT levels.
A major weakness to this hypothesis is the therapeutic lag – effects of drugs on NE or 5-HT levels are observed [blank_start]immediately[blank_end] yet therapeutic benefit takes a minimum of 1 to 4 [blank_start]weeks[blank_end] to occur- AAmine

7[blank_start]Neuroendocrine[blank_end] Hypothesis

8[blank_start]Neurotrophin[blank_end] Hypothesis

This requires [blank_start]long[blank_end] term (weeks) not [blank_start]short[blank_end] term (days) treatment
BDNF increases neurogenesis and [blank_start]synaptic[blank_end] connectivity
Stress, pain and depression can [blank_start]reduce[blank_end] BDNF
