Doctor’s Review

“Escitalopram is one of the most frequently prescribed SSRIs due to its effectiveness and tolerability. It works well in reducing symptoms of both depression and generalized anxiety disorder, allowing patients to regain motivation and stability in their daily lives. While most side effects are mild and temporary, monitoring during the first few weeks of therapy is essential. Gradual and supervised dose adjustments help patients achieve the best outcomes with minimal risk.”
