    Glossary Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors

    medications that increase serotonin levels to treat depression

    Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of medications commonly used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. They work by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, in the brain by inhibiting its reabsorption (reuptake) into neurons, thereby enhancing mood and emotional stability.
