| Researchers have detected antidepressant drugs in the brains offish captured downstream of sewage-treatment plants. This long-term follow-up study is designed to assess the relative long-term efficacy (3-8 years follow-up) of psychological treatments (cognitive behaviour therapy, supportive psychotherapy), antidepressant drug therapy, and combined cognitive behaviour therapy and drug therapy treatment for depressed adolescents. Indian pharma companies, in particular, are already having a global impact, with many now developing their own intellectual property: Ranbaxy developed a once-daily antibiotic; Matrix Laboratories developed a process for manufacturing a key ingredient of the antidepressant drug Cipramil. |
