Antidepressants, such as SSRIs and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors are still effective in alleviating depressive episodes in many patients, however. In a paper published in, researchers outline a new framework for understanding how antidepressants are efficacious in treating MDD. This framework helps clarify how antidepressants like SSRIs are still be helpful, even if MDD isn't caused by a lack of serotonin.
