Antidepressant

Antidepressants are medications used to treat symptoms of depression and other mental disorders. They work by altering the balance of chemicals in the brain known as neurotransmitters. Commonly prescribed antidepressants include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). These medications are used to treat a variety of mental disorders, including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and bipolar disorder. They can also be used to treat physical symptoms of depression, such as insomnia, fatigue, and changes in appetite. Antidepressants are generally safe and effective when taken as prescribed, but they can have side effects, including nausea, drowsiness, and sexual dysfunction. It is important to talk to your doctor about any side effects you may be experiencing.
