Definition:
SSRI stands for Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor—a class of medications commonly prescribed for depression and anxiety. They work by blocking the reabsorption (reuptake) of serotonin in the brain, making more of it available to support mood balance.
Why It Matters:
Kanna is believed to act as a natural SSRI due to compounds like mesembrine. While not as potent or long-lasting as prescription SSRIs, kanna may offer similar mood-lifting effects without the same side effect profile. However, combining kanna with pharmaceutical SSRIs is not recommended due to potential serotonin overload.
