Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly prescribed for the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). By increasing serotonin levels in the brain, it helps improve mood, alleviate anxiety, and reduce obsessive behaviors. Paroxetine is also used to manage symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Its efficacy and well-established safety profile make it a widely used antidepressant, contributing to the mental health management of millions worldwide.
