Comparison of network centrality between placebo (left) and 20 Milligramm escitalopram (right). Orange colors indicate higher centrality. Three hours after the administration of escitalopram the architecture of functional networks changes considerably.

Just by looking at that, it's obvious that SSRIs have a significant impact on the brain's metabolic profile. This is how we're treating depression, by blunting/reducing the activity of the entire brain. It just reinforces that SSRIs aren't clean drugs, even though they're selective enough to target only one neurotransmitter.
