摘要

Abstract

Depression is a complex mental illness

with its pathogenesis involving multiple factors such as social environment

genetics and genes

changes in brain structure and function

alterations in receptor function

inflammation

and immunity. The onset of depression may be related to abnormal levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin

norepinephrine

and dopamine in the brain. Major symptoms include persistent low mood

reduced interest

and loss of energy. Medications for treating depression primarily work by regulating the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain; common drugs include fluoxetine

sertraline

venlafaxine

and duloxetine.
