| Sumario: | Considering the prevalence of major unipolar depression, the economical costs of its management and the different medications available for its treatment, it is imperative to have a good knowledge of the basic principles used to classify anti depressive medications. A good acquaintance on their mechanisms of action on neurotransmission and receptors, wil allow a better understanding of their therapeutic action and secondary effects. Tricyclics, non selective MAO inhibitors, reversible MAO inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, dopamine and noradrenalin reuptake inhibitors, 5-HT2 blockers with serotonin reuptake blocking effect, serotonin, noradrenalin and dopamine reuptake inhibitors, alfa 2 receptor blockers and 5-HT/2-3 inhibitors are the eight available types of antidepressants (Rev Méd Chile 2001; 129: 813-8) |
