The relationship between depression and serotonin is established through scientific research linking serotonin levels to the onset and treatment of depression, as evidenced by studies on neurochemical correlations [1], the role of serotonin in stress-mediated depression [2], and the impact of serotonin depletion on mood [3]. Furthermore, the connection is highlighted by the development of serotonin-based antidepressant treatments [4] and the exploration of biochemical routes for depression that involve serotonin modulation [5].

claimThe effect of 5-HT2C receptor agonists and antagonists on chronic unpredictable stress-mediated anxiety and depression in adolescent Wistar albino rats involves serotonin and mitochondrial ETC-I function in serotonergic neurotransmission, according to a 2020 study by Wankhar et al. in Behavioural Brain Research.
claimNew biochemical routes to treat depression are emerging, including the induction of neurogenesis independent of direct 5-HT (serotonin) modulation.
