Antidepressant medication tends to increase the concentration of central serotonin in the brain.
Antidepressants medications are drugs that are used to relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety disorders and other conditions. The concentration of central serotonin (a neurochemical) in the brain is increased to a dangerous level when antidepressant medications such as serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is used together with another antidepressant that also influences serotonin levels in the brain.
