These are classified as distinct types of medicine because they target specific parts of the brain in the own unique way. The reason one moves thru these would be because… from my experience… they are attempting to attack different problems as they evaluate you and your bodies response to the medicine. If the anti-depressant aren’t working, they try a different anti-depressant. If they just don’t work.. then the depression is a symptom… of something worse.
