Has Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) been used as a primary treatment for mental health conditions?

Has LDN been used as a primary treatment for major depression? 

No. LDN should never be used as first-line primary therapy for any mental health issue. It could be used as supplementary therapy when other therapies have failed, but only under the guidance of a consultant or a specialist.
