Learn how Lexapro works and what results to expect
Understanding Lexapro (Escitalopram)
Lexapro is a prescription medication in the antidepressant family known as SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors). It helps balance brain chemistry by increasing serotonin levels, which can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and help manage symptoms of depression.
Typically prescribed for major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, Lexapro (generic name: escitalopram) works by helping to restore mental balance and improve daily functioning for many patients experiencing these challenging conditions.
