Abstract :

The most prevalent mental disorder associated with stress is depression. It affects millions of people all around the world. Its development may involve influences from the biochemical, psychological, environmental, and genetic domains. Psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle modifications are commonly employed in the treatment of depression. The way antidepressant drugs function is by changing the amounts of specific molecules in the brain. The illness's present treatment plan includes several disadvantages, including side effects, inefficiency, long-term usage, stigma, and problems with the medication's cost. These side effects highlight the importance of more effective and cutting-edge approaches to treating anxiety, such as research into nanotechnology-based medicine delivery technologies. The possible advantages of using nanotechnology in the treatment of depressive disorder include greater drug effectiveness, fewer adverse reactions, fewer long-lasting medication effects, an improved comprehension of the neural mechanisms of sadness, and the possibility for the creation of specific medicines.
