Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) work by blocking the reuptake of serotonin in the brain, increasing the level of serotonin at neural receptor sites.

B is incorrect because SSRIs do not affect norepinephrine levels to the same extent as serotonin. C is incorrect because SSRIs can actually cause sexual dysfunction as a side effect. D is incorrect because SSRIs have no known effect on diabetes.
