Hi, SSRI means selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Primarily they affect serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. You need to check for yourself how is it working for you. Researchers believe that both people with depression and people with anxiety disorders can benefit from increase in level of serotonin. Sometimes anxiety and depression go together and SSRI can be used in these situations. You must check out for side effects which are developing while you are on therapy.
