The present study attempted to build a simple and feasible monkey model of depression with chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) and evaluate the antidepressant effect and onset time of fluoxetine hydrochloride (FLX) and the new drug hypidone hydrochloride (YL-0919), a potent and selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor, 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist and 5-HT6 receptor full agonist.
