Press Release Body = Modern medicine and treatment techniques have shed new light on
many misunderstood physical and psychological ailments. One among these is
Depression. Depression is not a personality trait, nor is it an attack of the blues.
More than 19 million adult Americans suffer from depression, every year. Anyone can
fall a victim to depression, regardless of age, sex, gender, race, income levels,

recover.

irritability most of the time, almost every day. Sudden changes in body weight,
feeling of worthlessness and loss of interest in professional or social activities
are also classic symptoms. If depression is suspected, it should never be ignored. A
qualified physician/psychiatrist should be consulted immediately to confirm
diagnosis and to start treatment. This is because, depression, if left untreated,
usually gets progressively worse, until it morphs into more serious psychological
disorders and total alienation from society.


Lexapro is one of the modern breed of medicines that have proven very effective in
treating major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It
belongs to a category of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI)
and significantly alleviates the symptoms of MDD and GAD, thus improving quality of
life to a very large extent. What Lexapro does is restore the balance of a chemical
called Serotonin, which acts as a neurotransmitter or messenger in the human brain.
While the physiological reasons for depression have not been pin-pointed yet, it is
largely believed that imbalances in brain chemistry lead to depression. Serotonin is
one such chemical in the human brain.
