The pivotal role Mirtazapine plays is with its strong anti-depressant nature, and it has been used primarily to cure depressive illness. Secondarily, it has also been used to make people sleepy before surgical operations, as well as to treat anxiety disorders, owing to its corresponding effects.
Mirtazapine has been used for essentially curing clinical depression (also known as major depressive disorder). Other disorders for which Mirtazapine has been used and found to be effective are Seasonal Affective Disorder ( SAD), in which the patient is increasingly depressed during the winters and shortening days, Post traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), in which the patient suffers from depression consequent to a traumatic incident, Panic Disorder, OCD or Obsessive Compulsiver Disorder. Other condition for which Mirtazapine is used is Generalized Anxiety Disorder, in which the patient is overly worried, anxious or irritable, puritus (commonly known as itch), social phobia, anorexia.
Many studies have proven that Mirtazapine is efficient in curing other non-depressive ailments like CTTH, or Chronic Tension-type Headache, shallow breathing, migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, cluster headache (commonly called suicide headache), autism, gastroparesis (partial paralysis condition of the stomach), post-dural puncture headache, breathing problems especially during sleep and other disorders.
