Respuesta :

Ssris alleviate symptoms of depression by increasing the ​level of serotonin at the synapse .

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Ssris (Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor) is a drug that is been prescribed to the people with depression and anxiety disorders.  In the brain the information and messages are passed from one nerve cell to the other.
