It usually takes weeks to months after starting an antidepressant for people with depression
to feel substantially better. Researchers at the National Institute of
Mental Health (NIMH) have been experimenting with new medications that
rapidly decrease symptoms of depression within just a few hours.
Understanding how experimental medications may work to quickly lift
severe and hard-to-treat depressive symptoms may lead to development of
new, faster-acting treatments.
