Abstract: Major depressive disorder is a global disease burden. It is major psychiatric disorder in which the patients suffer from the serious dysfunctions of the cognitive system and deprivation of mood, anhedonia etc. Stress is the major contributory factor of the of depression and a large number of depression patients become the victims of suicide. Depression is associated with a number of degenberative changes in the brain associated with cognitive functions and mood. Current therapies of depression aim to restore the cognitive functions of the patient by promoting neurogenesis in their brain. However, all these types of therapies have many limitations which provoke us to develop a more efficient therapy for the treatment of major depression. In recent time, the uses of microRNAs in the treament of many diseases have got popularities. In this present review we have discussed the possible advantages of using miRNA as the therapeutic target of major depression.
