There are a handful of types of SSRIs commonly prescribed to treat both anxiety and depression. One of the most commonly used SSRIs is Fluoxetine, more popularly referred to as “Prozac.”
Prozac works in a similar way to all other SSRI medications. To treat an imbalance of serotonin in the brain, Prozac works to increase these levels. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that carries messages from your nerve cells to your brain and throughout the rest of your body, affecting how your body works. When the brain produces an average amount of serotonin, it helps regulate and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.
