Neuroendocrine function has been reported by several workers to be abnormal in affec-tive disorder and it has been shown that neurotransmitters are involved in the regulation of neuroendocrine function.
Depressed patients demonstrated deregulation in multiple neurochemical and neuro-endocrine systems, many of which are involved stress mediated reactions.
Thus it is very intriguing that neuroendocrine & neurochemical abnormalities in depres-sion that we have reviewed involve imbalance of neurotransmitters and deregulation of neuroendocrine that directly or indirectly mediate stress-responsivity in humans. But it is necessary to define how this deregulation becomes translated into the clinical phenomenon of depression as the further research method.
