Serotonergic Antidepressants

Serotonergic antidepressants are medications that help improve mood by increasing the levels of serotonin, a chemical messenger in the brain that influences feelings of happiness and well-being. They work by enhancing serotonin activity, which can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. These medications are commonly prescribed and include several classes, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). While they don't cure depression, they can significantly improve symptoms in many individuals. It's important to use them under medical supervision, as they may have side effects and require careful management.
