Lexapro

Lexapro (escitalopram) is a prescription medication used to treat depression and anxiety. It belongs to a class called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which help balance the levels of serotonin—a brain chemical involved in mood regulation. By increasing serotonin availability, Lexapro can help improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall well-being. It typically takes a few weeks to notice full effects and should be taken under medical supervision due to possible side effects and the need for proper dosing. It’s important to discuss any concerns or questions with your healthcare provider.
