Scientist at the University of Western Ontario used different experiemens to find a new connection between depression and anxiety. In their findings they found that there may be a new drug and drug targets that can be used to target depression to treat it more effectively. Depression, anxiety and other related mood disorders share the same distinctions of being the most prevalent causes of chronic illness.

We learned about stress in chapter 11 and depression in chapter 14. I chose this topic because i was diagnosed with depression in January. It wasn't anything that people think of when they hear "depression". One simple thing can alter your mood. For me, it was many things up against me til i broke down. There are so many drugs available for depression although it would be nice to have one that focused specifically on depression.
