Probably all of them: In our search to try to understand how antidepressants work, we have explored their impact on bdnf (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which is a substance that induces development of neurons. Most of our antidepressants probably increase bdnf. The decision about an antidepressant takes into consideration the disorder to be treated and the side effects most eagerly avoided.
