Antidepressants are medications that are often prescribed to help improve the symptoms of depression. There are several types of these drugs, including serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and tricyclic antidepressants. Before using any antidepressant, it is important to let your healthcare provider know if you have bipolar disorder, are pregnant, or have any chronic medical conditions.
