Overview

Antidepressants are medications used to treat depression, anxiety and other related mental health conditions. They are one of the most commonly prescribed medications, and work by altering the balance of certain brain chemicals, such as serotonin, affecting mood and emotions. Antidepressants can be highly effective in managing acute and chronic depression, as well as helping to reduce symptoms of anxiety and panic. They can also be used to help with sleeping problems and chronic pain. In addition, some antidepressants can be used to treat other conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and bulimia. While there are potential side effects associated with antidepressants, with proper treatment and monitoring by a doctor, they can be an important part of managing mental health conditions.
