A Depression Switch?
Topic: Health and Wellness 8:52 am EDT, Sep 17, 2007

From David Dobbs, writing in the New York Times.

"People often ask me about the significance of small first studies like this," says Dr. Thomas Insel, who as director of the National Institute of Mental Health enjoys an unparalleled view of the discipline. "I usually tell them: 'Don't bother. We don't know enough.' But this is different. Here we know enough to say this is something significant. I really do believe this is the beginning of a new way of understanding depression."

This essay appears in The Best American Science Writing 2007.
