A mental health condition known as depression is responsible for affecting the lives of a countless number of elderly individuals, adults, teens, and children. The symptoms that many of these people experience with depression can make it very hard to complete even very small tasks and responsibilities that they need to achieve. There are also other mental health conditions that this drug can help to alleviate and they would include premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a social phobia that is known as social anxiety disorder, PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder, and OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder, and panic attacks. This selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor can provide an improvement of such symptoms as low energy levels, low moods, and problems with sleeping, anxiety, poor appetite, fear, panic attacks and unwanted thoughts and urges to perform tasks that are repeated and generally experienced with obsessive compulsive disorder. The way this drug works is by causing a more normal balance of neurotransmitters (natural chemicals) like serotonin that are found within the brain.
