No, SSRIs do not permanently change your brain. During the time you are taking them, they increase the amount of serotonin at the neuronal synapse. It is not actually understood what mechanism operates to make them (or any other antidepressants) effective against depression and anxiety. But none of these medicines cause permanent structural change.
No, it does not.
No.
