Antidepressants

Antidepressants are medications that modulate neurotransmitter systems, primarily serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, to alleviate symptoms of depressive disorders. They are crucial in clinical practice for treating depression, anxiety, and certain chronic pain conditions. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are common examples, with potential side effects including serotonin syndrome.
