- Monoamne-oxidase inhibitors
- MO ia a Natrual enzyme - breaks down serotin and noradrenaline.
- The inhibitors block action of this enzyme - so increase availability of these neurotransmitters in nervous system

- SSRI's
- E.g. Prozac = most com prescribed
- SSRI's

- Work by blocking reuptake of serotonin.
- Makes more of it available in neighbouring cells = reduce symptoms
- So more serotonin left in synapse, prolonging it activity.

- Effectiveness
- Giltin = AD effective reducing sympt of sevERE dep in around 65-75%. Comapared to placebos = 33%
- Effectiveness
- If effective treatment real - then Placebos only used in control group. Unethical to give placebos to DEP patient...
