Citalopram

Citalopram is a medication commonly prescribed to treat depression and anxiety. It belongs to a class called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which work by increasing the levels of a chemical in the brain called serotonin that helps regulate mood, emotion, and sleep. By adjusting serotonin levels, citalopram can help improve feelings of sadness, worry, and emotional stability. It typically takes several weeks to notice effects and should be taken under medical supervision. Like all medications, it may have side effects and isn't suitable for everyone, so it's important to discuss its use with a healthcare provider.
