Sooner A new treatment option is now available in Canada to treat depression, considered one of the most prevalent medical illnesses in the world. Just over 70 per cent of physicians surveyed felt that currently available antidepressants could be improved by providing a faster onset of therapeutic effect for patients. Physicians rated increased patient functioning, elevated mood, improved sleep, and rapid reduction in anxiety as the most important outcomes when assessing the effectiveness of an antidepressant treatment.
Depression is caused by an imbalance of one or more chemicals in the brain.
In contrast to many currently available antidepressants that increase the levels of only one of the brain chemicals, Remeron's dual mode of action targets two key brain chemicals - serotonin and noradrenaline.
