SSRIs treat depression by increasing the breakdown of transmitters within the brain.
SSRIs treat depression by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that transports signals between nerve cells in the brain (neurons). SSRIs inhibit serotonin reabsorption (reuptake) into neurons. This increases the availability of serotonin, which improves message transmission between neurons. SSRIs are known as selective antidepressants because they only affect serotonin and not other neurotransmitters. Anxiety disorders, for example, may be treated with SSRIs in addition to depression.
