How it works
Restores serotonin and noradrenaline function impaired by grief-related depression. Does not treat grief itself — only the depressive disorder that may develop alongside it.
Antidepressants do not treat normal grief and should not be prescribed solely for bereavement sadness. Clinical judgement required — see a GP if functioning is severely impaired or suicidal thoughts are present.
