Depression pills, sometimes referred to as antidepressants, are prescription drugs that work by rebalancing neurotransmitters in the brain to treat a variety of depressed diseases. Chronic depression, loss of interest in activities, exhaustion, changes in appetite, and sleep difficulties are some of the symptoms that these medications aid with. The main neurotransmitters that antidepressants target are dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, all of which are essential for mood control. Atypical antidepressants, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are among the several kinds of depression medications. Because they work well and have fewer negative effects, SSRIs like sertraline and fluoxetine are the most often given medications.
