Researchers Develop New Antidepressant That Relieves Symptoms In As Little As Two Hours With Few Adverse Effects 

Then, the team believed that this altered serotonin concentration would rapidly improve depression symptoms.

To test this theory, the researchers developed a new drug known as ZZL-7 before injecting it into mice. And afterward, they confirmed that serotonin was redirected in much higher levels toward the medial prefrontal cortex.

The most significant finding of this study, though, is that serotonin levels in that brain region increased virtually immediately. So, when used in humans, the team believes that the drug’s antidepressant effects could be felt in as little as two hours.

Additionally, this new therapy is believed to result in few side effects– a feat that cannot be said about most antidepressants currently on the market.
