Thats the thing though. There has been a lot of talk about how antidepressants may be neuroprotective.
The truth is that some are showing to be neuroprotective, while others aren't.
Lithium for instance, seems to have the most neuroprotective and neurotrophic potential of any med.
The SSRI's have been compared to Tianeptine in terms of their ability to prevent stress induced hippocampal atrophy. Tianeptine seems to have much more effect in this area. In fact, most of the headlines boasting that antidepressants may be neuroprotective, are indeed referring to the effects of tianeptine.
