Low level of noradrenaline is the cause of depression. What type of drugs are needed to cure this problem ? Name two drugs.

Explanation

In event of low level of neurotransmitter, noradrenaline, antidepressant drugs are required. These drugs inhibit the enzymes which catalyse the degradation of noradrenaline. If the enzyme is inhibited. noradrenaline is slowly metabolized and hence activates its receptor for longer periods of time thereby reducing depression. Two important drugs are iproniazid and phenelzine (nardil).
