Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are one of the most commonly prescribed medications for treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). These medications help increase the levels of serotonin in the brain — a neurotransmitter linked to mood regulation, sleep, and emotional processing.
By preventing the reabsorption (or “reuptake”) of serotonin into neurons, SSRIs help maintain higher levels of this chemical in the brain, which can improve mood, reduce feelings of anxiety, and support emotional stability. While SSRIs don’t work overnight, many people begin to notice benefits within a few weeks.
It’s important to remember that everyone responds differently. At Mindspire Health, we take a thoughtful, personalized approach — choosing medications based on your symptoms, history, and preferences, and pairing them with holistic support whenever possible
