According to their chemical structures, antidepressant drugs are classified as tricyclic or polycyclic antidepressants, and others. Mechanism of antidepressants The tricyclic and polycyclic antidepressants manage depression by blocking the uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin into the neuron. The prototypical drug in this group is imipramine. The selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors The selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) are a new class of chemically unique antidepressant drugs that specifically inhibit serotonin reuptake, contrasting with the relatively nonselectively inhibition of monoamine uptake that is typical of the tricyclic antidepressants. The SSRIs cause fewer anticholinergic effects and lower cardiotoxity than
