The Wonderful & Amazing Molecules termed Antidepressants (erroneously)
There are more than 30 molecules available in the Psychiatrist's armaments which are broadly classified as Antidepressants.
And they are one of the most safe, effective and broad spectrum molecules, scientists have come up with.
Please understand, these are NOT "Happy Pills". Taking them won't make u "happy" or "jubliant".
In broadly simplistic terms, they can be called as RESILIENCE BUILDERS or BRAIN ENHANCERS - i.e. a diseased brain, one suffering from Clinical Depression is not able to respond properly to stress or even without stress which brings about the symptoms - these bring the master organ - the brain back to ALLOSTASIS or normalcy, increasing its stress handling capacity, INCREASING BRAIN RESILIENCE.
And this is NOT all these molecules are useful for, other than Psychiatric Illnesses, they are finding uses in a broad range of Bodily Disorders including COVID - 19. Yes, they are under study as they are though to reduce the CYTOKINE STORM associated with Covid 19 leading to severe disease.
For too long have these wonderful molecules been misunderstood & demonized, even among the Psychiatric Fraternity
Time to cover up lost ground😎
