Escitalopram

Escitalopram is a medication commonly prescribed to treat depression and anxiety. It works by increasing the levels of a neurotransmitter called serotonin in the brain, which helps improve mood and emotional regulation. It is part of a class called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Escitalopram usually takes several weeks to have full effect and is taken daily. Like all medications, it can have side effects, such as nausea or sleep changes, and should be used under medical supervision. It is effective for many people in managing symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders.
