Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SSRIs work by blocking the reuptake of serotonin, which increases the concentration of serotonin in the synaptic cleft, leading to increased activation of serotonin receptors. This is the correct neurotransmitter action for SSRIs. Tricyclics do not increase GABA activity, they work by blocking the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine. MAO inhibitors work by preventing the breakdown of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
