Topics discussed in this compilation include the biology of foetal exposure to serotonin reuptake inhibitors; the addictive potential of antidepressant drugs; the immunomodulatory action of fluoxetine in normal and in pathological conditions; use of antidepressants in older people with mental illness; and the treatment of comorbid depression and alcohol abuse/dependence with antidepressant medications.
