The major classes of antidepressants are the [[selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor]]s ('''SSRIs'''), [[serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors]] ('''SNRIs'''), [[MAOI|monoamine oxidase inhibitors]] ('''MAOIs'''), reversible monoamine oxidase A inhibitors ('''rMAO-A inhibitors'''), tetracyclic antidepressants ('''TeCAs'''), and noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant ('''NaSSAs''').
