How do antidepressants affect the function of the brain?

By Tim Cruickshank


'We have to run hard to stay where we are ' - this verse is perfectly fit for the present day way of life. Anyone who's got the capacity to work ceaselessly can come across it easily in this world. The consumerism explosion presents them a plethora of things to aspire for, consistently. As a consequence ladies and men put themselves in more pressure than ever in the history to buy these things, increase their status and live a snug life. The unsolved questions are, whether these products are worth all the suffering and stress undergone to purchase them and do they really make the owner ecstatic.

Though, our inner conscience knows we are able to exist without many of those things, the urge to buy them all is uncontrollable. The feeling of deficiency felt when an individual can't buy a new auto or the latest mobile can't be expressed by words. The current day man puts too much stress on himself pointlessly, leading to a few stress associated conditions like heart issues, OCD, Fibromyalgia, Sleep Apnea, Panic fits and even anorexia. Some individuals resort to unruly ways like alcoholism and substance abuse. These practices only affect their condition rather than enhancing it.

Antidepressants used to handle the condition affect the neurotransmitters in the brains like norepinephrine, serotonin and in a few cases dopamine. You can buy a well-known antidepressant on the Internet websites easily. They supplement the energy lost due to overworking of brain cells and refresh the chemical extrusion in the brain. Active brain doesn't seem insufficient and depressed. There are four different types of depression curing medications.

1. Monoamine Oxidase (MAOIs)

2. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs)

3. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)

4. Serotonin norepinephrine reuptake restrictors (SNRIs)

MAOI's were the first set of antidepressants to be marketed. They'd one or two sudden effects when mixed with other drugs. A patient taking them had to avoid all of the other medications. Therefore, TCA's were introduced. They increased the norepinephrine discharge in the brain and limited the serotonin discharge. It was awfully handy in curtailing high blood pressure. they affected the guts of the patient in various ways.

SSRIs were created junking the defects in the previous set of medications. They worked well with other drugs and did no damages to the heart, but heightened the risk of stomach bleeding. SNRI's with only a few complications have been created recently. there are only a few of them in the market like duloxetine, venlafaxine and desvenlafaxine.
