Abstract in brief

  • The study focused on understanding how levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is involved in brain plasticity, change in women with depression compared to healthy women.
  • They found that women with depression had lower BDNF levels before treatment, but after six weeks of taking an antidepressant medication (Scitalopram), their BDNF levels increased to match those of healthy women.
  • These results imply that BDNF might play a significant role in causing depression and could also be part of how antidepressant medications work to relieve symptoms.]
