Antidepressants are a specific class of prescription medication designed to improve mood. The major classes of antidepressants are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs; tricyclic antidepressants; monoamine oxidase inhibitors, or MAOIs; and so-called designer antidepressants.

To address this vexing situation, Grosso and his colleagues collected all studies on the health effects of coffee, systematically reviewed the evidence, then offered up their bottom line in the Annual Review of Nutrition. Specifically, they looked at 127 meta-analyses, which lump together and statistically analyze studies on similar topics.
