Medication (Antidepressants, Anxiolytics)

Antidepressants and anxiolytics are medications used to treat mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. Antidepressants help balance chemicals in the brain that affect mood, helping reduce feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and improve overall emotional well-being. Anxiolytics, also known as anti-anxiety medications, target symptoms of anxiety, such as excessive worry or physical tension, providing relief and promoting calmness. Both types of medications are often prescribed alongside therapy and require careful medical supervision to manage benefits and potential side effects. They aim to restore better mental balance, enabling individuals to function more comfortably in daily life.
