Many healthcare providers will prescribe antidepressants as part of depression treatment. These medications generally work by increasing certain brain chemicals, which can help improve symptoms of depression. Various types of antidepressants are available to choose from, including tricyclic antidepressants, MAOIs, SNRIs, and SSRIs. Before using any of these drugs, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you are pregnant or have bipolar disorder.
