Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SNRIs (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors) are drugs that work by increasing the levels of both serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. This increased availability of these neurotransmitters helps to alleviate the symptoms of depression. SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) only impact the serotonin system, TCAs (Tricyclic Antidepressants) and MAOIs (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors) also impact multiple neurotransmitters but are not considered first-line treatments due to their potentially severe side effects.
