Depression Relief Medications

Depression relief medications are used to treat symptoms of depression, a mental health disorder that affects mood, behavior, and physical health. These medications, commonly known as antidepressants, work by balancing neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, which are believed to influence mood and emotional state. There are several classes of antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), each with a different mechanism of action. The goal of these medications is to reduce depressive symptoms such as persistent sadness, lethargy, and loss of interest in activities, ultimately improving mental health and quality of life. Depression relief medications are usually prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include therapy and lifestyle changes.
