Could a Seizure Drug Treat Depression?

Turns out, a med originally for epilepsy (ezogabine) might be a game-changer for depression. Scientists found it tweaks potassium channels in the brain, helping people actually feel pleasure again by fixing reward circuits. Even cooler? It seems to quiet down those brain areas that fuel negative thoughts. It’s early days, but this could mean a whole new way to treat depression—especially for folks who don’t respond to the usual meds.
