Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a class of medication used to treat depression. They were introduced in the 1950s as the first drugs for depression. Today, theyâre less popular than other depression medications, but some people benefit from their use.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOI) work by blocking the enzyme that breaks down serotonin (Monoamine Oxidase). By doing so, it allows more serotonin to be availabe for release by the neuron. Because they work in different ways, they have different therapeutic effects and side-effects.
