If I read the article properly, an inhibitor of the eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) enzyme would produce an immediate increase in BDNF production along with an immediate antidepressant response. We will have to see if it is necessary to combine a eEF2 inhibitor with a regime of other psychotropics to sustain the antidepressant effect long-term.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
