Developmental issues can be hard to distinguish. The mental health problems of young children are often unrecognized until they become severe and difficult to treat”(e.g., Tolan & Dodge, 2005; U.S. Public Health Service, 2000a, 2000b).

There are multiple varieties of depression that can occur. Major…

Studies show that SSRIs treats depression and targets the three main PTSD clusters such as avoidance, re-experiencing, and hyperarousal. SSRIs are tolerable and have few side effects. Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors block the reuptake of the neurotransmitters. SNRIs such as duloxetine, venlafaxine, and desvenlafaxine act by preventing the reuptake of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine (Greenberg, 2012). High concentrations of extracellular serotonin and…
