Depression can be caused by events in your life, while chemical changes within your brain cause others. However, clinical depression is a condition that can be treated with the right medication, talking to a therapist, and making some changes in your lifestyle.

Ludiomil belongs to a class of medications known as tetracyclic antidepressants. It functions by affecting the balance of a natural chemical, known as neurotransmitters, within the brain.
