Product description: Depression is not entirely understood. But a growing amount of evidence suggests that depression may be linked to chemical imbalances in the brain. One of these chemicals, serotonin, is vital for cell-to-cell communication and plays a significant role in determining how we feel. If a person's serotonin levels are low, he or she may experience depressed mood, changes in appetite, sleep problems, anxiety or restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and other symptoms. Prozac is a prescription medication that helps relieve these symptoms and other signs of depression by restoring levels of serotonin in the brain.
