Prozac is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly used to treat depression. It works by increasing the level of serotonin in the brain, which can help improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression. Valproate and lithium are primarily used to treat bipolar disorder, while Elavil (amitriptyline) is an older tricyclic antidepressant that may have more side effects and is less commonly prescribed than SSRIs.
