Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of drugs used to treat mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. SSRIs work by increasing the amount of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, in the brain. This helps to improve mood and reduce symptoms of mental illness. SSRIs are generally considered to be safer and more effective than other types of antidepressants, and they are often prescribed as a first-line treatment for mental disorders. The SSRI market is highly competitive, with many pharmaceutical companies offering different brands of SSRIs. Some of the major players in the market include Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly, and AstraZeneca. These companies have developed a wide range of SSRIs, including Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, and Lexapro. Other companies, such as Mylan and Teva, also offer generic versions of SSRIs. Show Less Read more
