Antidepressants? Antidepressents is a common misspelling of antidepressants.
There are several types of antidepressants available to treat depression, including SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, and tricyclic antidepressants. Generally, these drugs work by increasing certain chemicals within the brain. Before using antidepressants, make sure your healthcare provider knows if you are pregnant, have bipolar disorder, or have any chronic conditions. Potential side effects of antidepressants include changes in appetite or weight, sleep changes, and sexual problems.
