Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -SSRIs work by targeting serotonin – one of the primary neurotransmitters that helps regulate mood. When your serotonin levels get too low, SSRIs help bring it back into balance by blocking or “inhibiting” its reabsorption. This, in turn, helps lift the cloud of depression.
Detailed explanation-2: -The oldest and most studied of mood stabilizers is lithium. However, many drugs that were first developed as anticonvulsants to treat epilepsy also act as mood stabilizers. These include carbamazepine, divalproex and lamotrigine.
