This document discusses different classes of anti-depressant drugs, including: 1) Amine Re-uptake Inhibitors (ARI) such as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and heterocyclic antidepressants that work by inhibiting the reuptake of neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine. 2) Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) that more selectively inhibit the reuptake of serotonin. 3) Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs) like venlafaxine that inhibit the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine. 4) Monoamine
