Why is Trintellix so good?
Trintellix works differently from some other antidepressants because it helps increase serotonin levels in two ways. It not only prevents serotonin from being absorbed too quickly, but it also helps boost serotonin activity directly in the brain. This unique approach can make it more effective for treating depression. Plus, unlike some other antidepressants, Trintellix is less likely to cause weight gain, which makes it a popular choice for people with major depressive disorder (MDD).
