What are the common types of antidepressants?

There are several classes of antidepressants, each with distinct mechanisms of action:
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) - Increase the level of serotonin in the brain by inhibiting its reuptake.
Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs) - Block the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine.
Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) - Inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin but have significant anticholinergic effects.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) - Inhibit the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which breaks down neurotransmitters such as serotonin and norepinephrine.
