Major depressive disorder (MDD) remains a leading cause of disability worldwide, with conventional antidepressants offering incomplete and often transient relief. Mounting ev-idence highlights disturbances in tryptophan (Trp) metabolism as a key biological axis linking inflammation, neuroplasticity, and mood regulation.
