Antidepressants and their effects on the human brain.


Antidepressants are such types of medications used for patients who suffer from depression. The use of antidepressants can help relieve some symptoms and improve the mood of people suffering from a major depressive disorder.

 

It contains small molecules that interfere with the brain's chemical messengers, called neurotransmitters.

 

These neurotransmitters are essential to communication between nerve cells. Still, when the message gets through, the brain automatically responds by forming new connections and increasing blood flow to areas of the brain that need it.

 

Antidepressants block these signals, preventing them from reaching their destination and sending more blood where needed.
