Vortioxetine is a medication primarily used for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. It belongs to the class of drugs known as serotonin modulators and stimulators (SMS), which work by affecting serotonin levels in the brain.

Uses:
Vortioxetine is primarily indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. It is used to improve mood, feelings of well-being, and energy levels, while also reducing feelings of anxiety and sadness in individuals with MDD.
Benefits:

In some cases, it may cause more serious side effects such as suicidal thoughts or behavior, serotonin syndrome (especially when combined with other medications affecting serotonin levels), or withdrawal symptoms if abruptly discontinued.
Safety Advice:
It is essential to take vortioxetine exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Do not increase or decrease the dosage without consulting a doctor.
