Problems solved by technology

Depression is the most common of mental disorders and yet is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, inflicting substantial morbidity and psychosocial impairment on its sufferers.
The key features of depressive illness are a markedly gloomy mood in which there is a loss of interest in life, and general feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness.
The “blackness” of the presentation in the depressed patient is most often accompanied by severe motor retardation with profound sleep and appetite disturbance and suicidal ideation.
Furthermore, depressive illness can also present in a highly anxious or agitated state.
However, SSRIs have largely displaced TCAs because of side effects associated with TCAs and the need to monitor EKG and plasma drug concentration.
Although the SSRIs are viewed as an improvement over other antidepressants, they are not without their clinical problems.
However, it is clear from the issues raised earlier relating to the efficacy and side-effect profile of SSRIs and for that matter the more widely prescribed benzodiazapines, there still exists a real medical need for novel approaches for the treatment of anxiety and depression.
Consequently, many past studies have only measured or scored immobility after the administration of the test agent.
Unfortunately, this method does not score any other active behaviors that may be produced by potential antidepressants.
In general, these tests lack ethological validity.
