How does Citalopram (Generic Celexa) treat?

Citalopram (Generic Celexa) tablets contain the active ingredient citalopram hydrochloride, which is a type of antidepressant known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI).

Antidepressant medicines act on nerve cells in the brain. In the brain there are numerous different chemical compounds called neurotransmitters. These act as chemical messengers between the nerve cells. Serotonin is one such neurotransmitter and has various functions that we know of.

When serotonin is released from nerve cells in the brain it acts to lighten mood. When it is reabsorbed into the nerve cells, it no longer has an effect on mood. It is thought that when depression occurs, there may be a decreased amount of serotonin released from nerve cells in the brain.

Citalopram (Generic Celexa) works by preventing serotonin from being reabsorbed back into the nerve cells in the brain. This helps prolong the mood lightening effect of any released serotonin. In this way, Citalopram (Generic Celexa) helps relieve depression, panic and fear.
