Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of drugs typically used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. They work by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Some well-known SSRIs include:

1. Fluoxetine (Prozac)
2. Sertraline (Zoloft)
3. Citalopram (Celexa)
4. Escitalopram (Lexapro)
5. Paroxetine (Paxil)
6. Fluvoxamine (Luvox)

These medications are commonly prescribed because they generally have fewer side effects compared to older classes of antidepressants. Always consult a healthcare provider for medical advice and to determine which medication may be appropriate for a specific condition.
