I&#x27;m excited for there to be alternatives to SSRIs. I&#x27;ve never been diagnosed with depression, but my partner has and takes an SSRI. It certainly seemed to have a generally positive affect (totally subjectively), and relatively few negative side affects. That being said, having to take it every day sucks, and when she runs out, having forgotten to get it refilled, the mood affects are pretty terrible for us both. Hopefully this branch of research will continue and develop into a more positive alternative.
