Serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine are neurotransmitters that have all been implicated in depression. That is why a common practice of prescribing antidepressant drugs are usually in the class called SSRI's, which stands for selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors. What these drugs do is keep serotonin in the synaptic gaps so that more of it is available to facilitate normal function of the brain.
