Q: Is there any serious research investigating stem cell effects on depression?

 it is my belief pharmaceutical mental health research is very company and maybe governmental self serving.  I would like to know about all types of mental health potential treatments- not just another drug or ECT.

Hello

 

I have never heard that stem cells can help with depression.  Where have you heard this?

 

Here is a U.S. News and World Report article about what diseases or conditions may be helped with stem cells...unfortunately depression and mood disorders are not listed here.

 

If you have any information let us know.
