Hi JB.
Thanks for the information.
I am encouraged that the NIMH is looking at mifepristone specifically for bipolar depression. It can be inferred that they are assessing its potential to reduce the symptoms of depression per se. However, I find it troubling that the studies looking at psychotic depression are only focused on the PSS, and not on depressive symptoms. It is as if they don't believe that it will help with depression globally, but only with its psychotic aspects. I would be dismayed to learn that this is all the drug does.
