Explaining biological depression theories

Research output: Contribution to journalLetter

Abstract

I AM GRATEFUL TO Dien Ho and James Phillips for their comments on my article (Mulinari, 2018). Although they approach the topic from different perspectives, they both seem to find my account of the evolution of monoamine theories into neuroplasticity theories to be compelling. They especially seem to find my principal argument to be persuasive: Until quite recently, the use of drugs to generate and test pathophysiological hypotheses—the pharmacological bridge—has been a paramount driving force in psychiatric research.
