Escitalopram is an antidepressant medication used to treat depression and generalized anxiety disorder. It operates by regulating serotonin levels in the body and belongs to the class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

It's important to note that this medication can lead to increased thoughts of suicide and behavioral changes, particularly in adolescents, children, and young adults, especially when taken in excessive amounts. For this reason, it should only be taken with a doctor's prescription.

Typically, Escitalopram is prescribed for once-daily use. The standard dose ranges from 10 to 20 mg for both adults and children. However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for this medication, as it can have adverse effects on individuals with certain medical conditions.
