They target the reuptake of serotonin, a neurotransmitter responsible for regulating mood, emotions, and behavior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approved conditions that SSRIs can be used for include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depression<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anxiety<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Panic disorder<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of bipolar disorder\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bulimia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of severe phobias, such as agoraphobia<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serotonin travels between neurons to transmit signals. Upon release into the synapse (the gap between neurons), some serotonin is reabsorbed by the neuron that released it, a process called reuptake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SSRIs block reuptake, which increases the amount of serotonin in the synapse. SSRIs bind to the serotonin reuptake pumps on the neuron to prevent reabsorption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With more serotonin available, it can continue to stimulate receptors on neighboring neurons for longer periods of time. This alleviates some of the symptoms of depression and regulates mood and emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, the brain may adapt to the increased levels of serotonin by making adjustments to the sensitivity of receptors. SSRIs typically need to be taken for two to four weeks before the full benefits are felt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Description and Examples of SSRIs<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The term \u201cSSRI\u201d refers to a class of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bidrx.com\/blog\/depression-medications\/reference-guide-to-depression-medications\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medications for depression<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that share a similar mechanism of action.
