Designed to bring emotional stability and relief from depression and anxiety, Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain to help maintain mental balance.
Also known by its brand name Lexapro, Escitalopram stops serotonin from being absorbed too quickly by nerve cells in the brain, which can help improve mood and reduce anxiety.
