This is exciting and important science. So proud of our Depression Task Force.

Happy to be a co-author on this study by Carazio-Arias et al implicating the opioid system in the actions of the SSRI fluoxetine. Bridging opioids to stress and depression feels so right. Great fun to collaborate with the @Rene_Hen and other colleagues in the @_HDRF Task Force.

@AshleyJudd Dear @AshleyJudd, Were sorry to hear you have lost your beautiful Mom. Mental illness takes too many lives. Our #DepressionTaskForce meets this month to discuss research progress, so we can finally have better treatments for the millions in need. Our thoughts are with you.

[Hope for Depression @_HDRF]

The fact is they work for some but not all. That is why research into depression is so urgent -- to find more precise and effective treatments. #Depressionisreal
