Abstract
Depression is the most common form of depressive disorder and is characterised by significant and persistent depression, usually with a prolonged onset (longer than two weeks) and a tendency for recurrent episodes. In today's rapidly developing society, depression is becoming more prevalent at a younger age and therefore research and development of drugs for depression is urgent, but single-target depression treatments are no longer suitable for today's research due to their high cost and toxic side effects. This paper is therefore based on the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor hypothesis and analyses the pathogenesis of depression as well as the receptors and their mechanisms of action.
