Summary
The paper presents the latest cognitive and neuroimaging data for SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressant drug treatment (eg. citalopram and escitalopram). Effects of antidepressant on central nervous system and depression symptoms in presented research refer to cognitive model of depression. Results suggest that SSRI antidepressant drugs have influence on emotional processing (emotional bias) which is strongly connected to depression. Even acute SSRI administration increase positive bias due to specific brain area activation (eg. amygdala).
