Antidepressants might also be prescribed, like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which regulate the serotonin levels in the brain and help elevate mood.

而抗抑郁药也可以治疗焦虑症，如5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂（SSRIs）通过调节脑中的血清素水平来帮助改善情绪。

Among the most mysterious are a group of widely used antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris), the best-known of which is Prozac.

其中最神秘的是一组广泛使用的抗抑郁药，称为选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂 (ssris)，其中最著名的是百忧解。

Antidepressants are the most common choice of medication, specifically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors or SNRIs, as well as benzodiazepines, and beta-blockers.

抗抑郁药是最常用的药物，尤其是选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂（SSRIs），5-羟色胺和去甲肾上腺素再摄取抑制剂（SNRIs）还有苯二氮䓬类药物和β-受体拮抗剂。

Not everyone with depression responds to SSRIs like Prozac— some respond better to drugs that act on other neurotransmitters, or don't respond to medication at all.

并非所有患有抑郁症的人都对像百忧解这样的 SSRIs 有反应——有些人对作用于其他神经递质的药物反应更好，或者根本对药物没有反应。

暴食症有时会用抗抑郁药治疗，比如SSRIs，即五羟色胺再摄取抑制剂；通常，服药的同时接受心理治疗对重症患者疗效最好。

In terms of medications, antidepressants, in particular selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (or SSRIs), can help to reduce depressive symptoms that often accompany PTSD, and can help minimize flashbacks and nightmares.
