ressant that belongs to the class of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI). Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest and can interfere with the daily functioning of the affected individual. Anxiety disorders include social phobia, specific phobias, generalised anxiety disorder, separation anxiety, and panic attacks.
