Antidepressants? Antidepressent is a common misspelling of antidepressants.

Antidepressants are prescription medications that are approved to treat the symptoms of depression. While these drugs may work differently, they generally work by increasing certain brain chemicals. There are various types of antidepressants to choose from, including tricyclic antidepressants, MAOIs, SSRIs, and SNRIs. Before taking an antidepressant, make sure your healthcare provider knows if you are pregnant, have any chronic conditions, or have bipolar disorder.
