A variety of medical interventions are available to assist treat depression, a complicated mental health illness, and its symptoms. Among the most popular methods are antidepressant drugs, which work by targeting different neurotransmitters to control mood. Classes of antidepressant drugs include SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, and MAOIs. Alternative choices include atypical antidepressants like bupropion and mirtazapine. Mood stabilizers are used occasionally, particularly when bipolar illness and depression are linked. Additionally, antipsychotic drugs may be recommended as supplemental therapies. As a last resort, regulated electrical currents are delivered to the brain to treat severe depression using electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). A non-invasive substitute that uses magnetic fields to activate different parts of the brain is called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Individual circumstances determine the best course of therapy, therefore speaking with a healthcare provider is essential.
