New antidepressants research

New research suggests antidepressants don't work for many people because they've been targeting the wrong thing.
The research seems to suggest that stress is not a major cause of depression and that it is not caused by an imbalance in neurotransmitters.

The research was carried out on rats and certainly the first finding about stress does seem rather counter-intuitive, particularly given previous research such as this study reported in The Independent linking high-stress jobs with depression.
