Ritalin is not an antidepressant

Posted by Bekka H. on March 10, 2002, at 2:09:21

I've read that Ritalin (methylphenidate) blocks the reuptake of dopamine while dexedrine causes the release of dopamine. By blocking the reuptake of the neurotransmitter, Ritalin's mechanism of action is similar to antidepressants, so why isn't Ritalin an antidepressant?
