How can drugs help depression? The brain communicates with itself through the use of special chemicals called neurotransmitters such as "serotonin" and "norepinephrine". There is correlation between the amount of these chemicals in the brain and a person's mood. Low levels of serotonin and norepinephrine have not been proven to cause depression but it widely believed that elevation of these chemicals is associated with improvement in mood in depressed people, particularly when their use is combined with psychological counseling. Doctors elevate these brain chemicals with the use of drugs. There are many different families of antidepressants available today. The two most common groups are: - SSRI's (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) These drugs ncrease the brain's level of serotonin, and are associated with an improvement in mood. SSRI's have also been shown to be useful in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder and some forms of severe shyness. These drugs come with strong warnings regarding their use in children. There is data to suggest that occasionally when kids take SSRI's some of them engage in self destructive thoughts. However, many times the benefits of giving your child a SSRI far outweigh the possible side effects. That is a decision for you and your doctor. They are generally well tolerated and effective. Some common SSRI side effects include: heartburn and drowsiness. They can sometimes produce a transient loss of appetite. SSRI medications can have drug interactions. You should consult with your doctor or pharmacist prior to mixing them with other medications.
