SNRIs
Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs) are a type of medication used primarily to treat depression and anxiety. They work by increasing the levels of two brain chemicals, serotonin and norepinephrine, which help regulate mood and emotional well-being. By preventing the reabsorption of these chemicals into nerve cells, SNRIs enhance their availability in the brain, which can improve symptoms of depression and anxiety. They are often prescribed when other treatments are not effective and may also help with conditions like chronic pain. Like all medications, SNRIs should be used under medical supervision to manage potential side effects.
