Nialamide in the treatment of depressive states

Abstract

Depression is a mental disorder manifested by depressed mood, cognitive and motor retardation, and suicidal ideas. In the modern world, the number of cases of a combination of mental and somatic pathologies is increasing in medical practice. Therefore, the issue of studying and correctly prescribing antidepressants is crucial. It is necessary that the drug should not only treat the mental illness of the patient, but also should not harm his/her physical health. Nialamide belongs to antidepressants, the mechanism of which is non-selective and irreversible inhibition of MAO-A and MAO-B.
