Intro to Pharmacology
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of medications commonly used to treat depression and anxiety disorders by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. They work by inhibiting the reabsorption (reuptake) of serotonin in the brain, which enhances mood and emotional stability. SSRIs are among the most frequently prescribed antidepressants due to their favorable side effect profile and effectiveness in treating various mood disorders.
