Getting psychiatric care for anxiety and depression has never been more convenient. Consult with a healthcare provider through our platform to determine whether a medication like citalopram could be right for you.
Citalopram
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a type of antidepressant that work by increasing levels of a mood-affecting chemical called serotonin in the brain which helps to improve your symptoms. Nice, right?
Your brain naturally produces chemicals that make you feel good, like serotonin. Citalopram keeps neurons from reabsorbing this chemical so that you have more of it available in your brain. For some, this can ease their symptoms with results like improved mood or reduced panic attacks.
