Agomelatine
An antidepressant that works differently from most other medications by activating melatonin receptors and blocking certain serotonin receptors, helping to restore normal sleep-wake cycles that are often disrupted in depression and anxiety. It improves mood, reduces anxiety, and supports better sleep without the sexual side effects commonly associated with other antidepressants.
