Everyone feels down from time to time. But for people with depression, the feelings of sadness can be so severe that they interfere with everyday life. It can become hard to function at home or at work, and the feelings can lead to a variety of physical and emotional problems.

 

However, depression is one of the most treatable mental disorders. Between 80% and 90%of people who have it benefit from treatment. The kind of management you need depends on your specific situation, but for some people, medication can be very helpful.

 

Thatโ€™s because brain chemistry may contribute to the condition, so taking antidepressants can actually change your brain chemistry and help you feel better.

 

The most common antidepressants are called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Theyโ€™re considered relatively safe and cause fewer side effects than other kinds of medications used to treat depression.

 

Types of SSRIs

The FDA is in charge of deciding which medications are safe and effective for which reasons. The following SSRIs are approved to treat depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders:

Citalopram (Celexa)

Fluoxetine (Prozac)

Fluvoxamine (Luvox, Luvox CR)

Paroxetine (Paxil, Paxil CR)

Sertraline (Zoloft)
