Antidepressants are the medicines that are used to relieve the depression. Depression is of two types namely the clinical and the normal depression. Out of these the clinical type is much serious than the normal one. In case of clinical depression there are a number of antidepressants that are suggested by the doctors.

Some of the drugs are now called as lifestyle drugs and often known as mood brighteners

There are basic two types of depressions. They are mainly the physiological causes and the socialpsychological causes. When the doctor prescribes for a antidepressant medicine one must understand that the medication that is given is for the correct objective.
The intake of antidepressants increases the chemical activity of the brain. Especially it increases the chemical activity of the neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters are present in the brain. The antidepressants increase the chemical activities of these neurotransmitters and help the person to elevate his mood or to come out of depression.

One has to take the antidepressants to relieve one's depression. If the antidepressant does not show their effect immediately one has to wait for a period of one to three months to help the antidepressant to show its effect.
The antidepressants are very risky when one takes the overdose. It can lead to death in some cases. The new antidepressants are less risky as compared to the old ones. One should eat the antidepressants only when prescribed by the doctor and not otherwise. Also since these antidepressants are dangerous they should be kept out of reach of the small children.
