Mirtazapine, sold under the brand name Remeron, is a tetracyclic antidepressant primarily used to treat major depressive disorder. It is also occasionally prescribed for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders. Patients taking mirtazapine often report improvements in sleep, problem-solving, and personal interactions due to reduced anxiety. The exact mechanism of action is not fully understood but is believed to involve serotonin, a neurotransmitter that aids brain cell communication.
