Thanks Thomas! Since antidepressant is the more familiar term to many in the public, I often use it. I try to convey two things: one, they don’t fix any “chemical imbalance,” and are just helping manage symptoms better; two, they are thought to create positive shifts in how brain processes emotions but the actual mechanisms are more complicated and still being worked out. For folks interested in more, I go into further details.
