Depression is a chronic condition that imposes a substantial burden of disability globally. Three principal neurotransmitters (norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), and serotonin (5-HT)) implicated the pathophysiology and treatment of depression. Clinical studies have found a significant association between numerous pro-inflammatory cytokines with depressive symptoms, endocrine, and neurotransmitter systems. Here, we detail our current understanding about the role of inflammation in depression, the mechanisms that are involved, and show how it is possible to innovate and develop new therapeutics of depression in the field of neuroinflammation.
