What are the major disorders for which Effexor/Venlafaxine may be Used? Effexor/Venlafaxine is prescribed to patients suffering from depression and anxiety disorder. Depression is a medical disorder in which the person suffers from feelings of sadness, hopelessness, pessimism, and a general loss of interest in life, combined with a sense of reduced emotional well-being and depression is caused by a combination of genetic (inherited), psychological and environmental factors.. There are three major types of depression: 1. Major depression – A person suffering from major depression has recurrent obsessions and/or compulsions. And these are so intense that the person feels very uncomfortable. These include recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are unwanted, and repetitive behaviors or rituals or mental acts (like counting, repeating words silently, avoiding). 2. Dysthymia – It is also a kind of depression very similar to the major depression, but the only difference between the two is intensity of the symptoms that a depressed person has. A person suffering from dysthymia has mild to moderate symptoms of depression. And for a person to be said to have this disease, it is necessary that the person suffer from these symptoms for at least 2 years. 3. Bipolar disease – This is characterized by two problems, as the name signifies, bipolar disease. In this kind of depression, a person suffers from repeated cycles of depression and mania. These occur very gradually but sometimes they are dramatic and rapid. Anxiety disorders on the other hand comprises of a group of conditions that have extreme or pathological anxiety as the principal disturbance of mood or emotional tone. Effexor/Venlafaxine has been found to be very successful in the treatment of depression and anxiety. Effexor/Venlafaxine works by controlling the amount of few neurotransmitters in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter produced in the brain known to influence the functioning of the cardiovascular, renal, immune, and gastrointestinal systems. Any disruption in the synthesis, metabolism or uptake of this neurotransmitter is the reason for depression, compulsive disorders and learning problems. Effexor/Venlafaxine affects the absorption of serotonin and in addition acts on the norepinephrine system. No other available medication affects both neurotransmitters without causing the side effects of the older tricyclic antidepressants except Effexor/Venlafaxine.
