Antidepressants
Antidepressants are drugs that are used to treat the symptoms of depression and anxiety. They are also used in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorders, and bulimia (anti-suppressant).
The body produces chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters, among them are serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. When the body produces low levels of these chemicals, a chemical imbalance occurs in the brain. Antidepressants alter the level and flow of neurotransmitters across the neural synapses, reducing the symptoms of depression.
