• Several drug classes and drugs can be used to treat depression:

    Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
    Serotonin modulators (5-HT2 blockers)
    Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors
    Norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor
    Heterocyclic antidepressants
    Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
    Melatonergic antidepressant
    Ketamine-like drugs

    Choice of drug may be guided by past response to a specific antidepressant. Otherwise, SSRIs are often the initial drugs of choice. Although the different SSRIs are equally effective for typical cases, certain properties of the drugs make them more or less appropriate for certain patients (see table Antidepressants and Depressive Disorders: Treatment).
