Abstract

Background: Depression, a debilitating psychiatric disorder, is characterized by enduring feelings of sadness and a diminished capacity to derive pleasure or interest from everyday activities. While the exact causes and comprehensive comprehension of the neurochemical processes that contribute to mood disorders are not fully understood, there is already significant evidence connecting mood problems to other conditions such as heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, and cerebral ischemia.


 


Aim: This study aims to assess the neurogenesis effect of tianeptine vs vortioxetine


 


Method: Eighty white albino male rats (200-225 g) were used. Induction of depression by reserpine, then determine the brain serotonin content in each group of rats and evaluate the antidepressant and antioxidant parameters for tianeptine and vortioxetine treated groups.


 


 Results: Tianeptine exhibited superior outcomes compared to vortioxetine in the majority of assessments.


 


Conclusion: The findings obtained from the study indicate that the use of tianeptine exhibits superior antidepressant effects than vortioxetinein in the treatment of depressive disorder because it has an antidepressant effect that might be mediated in rats through neuroprotective effect evident as antioxidant activity and restoration of brain weight.
