Verified by Experts

Noradrenaline is a type of neurotransmitter. When it is produced in low quantity in the body, it retards the process of message transfer across the body and as a result the person suffers from mental depression. In this case, antidepressant drugs are required. Two important antidepressant drugs are iproniazid and phenelzine (Nardil).
