stimulating effect
- inhabiting enzyme (allow mood influencing neurotransmitters ro remain in the synapse for longer) can have lethal interactions with certain foods

25
tricyclic antidepressant
inhibiting reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine
26
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) :
(recycling neurotransmitters) - most commonly prescribed (higher rates if effectiveness and lower risk of side effects) effects sex life* - First line treatment : initial attempt to treat depression (it targets serotonin and have little effect on norepinephrine and dopamine)
27
effectiveness of antidepressant medication
High (placebo plays big role) Animal tranquilizer is used (Ketamine: acts on glutamate (excitatory neurotransmitter)) Psychotherapy and exercise are big factors to effectiveness
