Phenelzine is a non-selective and irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) used as an antidepressant. It is approved primarily for the treatment of major depressive disorder, especially atypical, non-endogenous, or treatment-resistant depression. Its use today is limited due to dietary restrictions and potential adverse effects, but it remains an option when other antidepressants are ineffective.
