Conclusions and Relevance: The use of several mAbs for the treatment of primary inflammatory disorders has been associated with improvement of comorbid depressive symptoms. Given their unique mechanisms of action, mAbs may offer a new hope for depressed patients who do not respond to currently available antidepressants. Further research addressing individuals with more severe depressive symptoms is essential. Direct examination of antidepressant effects of mAbs in people with primary depressive disorders is also crucial to refine their clinical use in the treatment of depression.
