Medication (e.g. SSRIs, Benzodiazepines)

Medications like SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) and benzodiazepines are drugs used to manage mental health conditions. SSRIs help improve mood by increasing levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to happiness and well-being, often used for depression and anxiety. Benzodiazepines act quickly to relax the nervous system, reducing anxiety and helping with sleep, but are usually used short-term due to potential dependency. Both types of medications should be prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
