Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors are a class of drugs that play a crucial role in treating conditions like depression and Parkinson's disease. By inhibiting MAO, these drugs increase the levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in the brain. This, in turn, helps regulate mood and emotional well-being, making MAO inhibitors an important tool in managing mental health disorders.
