Clomipramine, sold under the brand name Anafranil, is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) primarily prescribed to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It works by increasing the activity of serotonin in the brain to restore mental balance. Though highly effective, it has a broader side effect profile than modern SSRIs, often making it a second-line option.
